Diverse perspectives on science and medicine
March has been a bumper month at PLOS Biology with lots of research hitting the press. A selection of our top picks this month include papers on flying reptiles, electric fish, e-cigarette toxicity, obesity
Check out our Editors-in-Chief’s selection of papers from the February issue of PLOS Computational Biology: Prediction of infectious disease epidemics via weighted density ensembles Public health agencies such as the US Centers for
Welcome to the first PLOS Biology media blog of 2018! We’re starting the year with a bang, with research on marine food web collapse, global flower-power, ancient Scandinavians, hot mitochondria, and musculoskeletal networks.
We’re taking a look back at the articles that have made a splash in the last 12 months, both in terms of media coverage and article views. These are just some of our favourites

Mounting research suggests that psychedelics, used in a controlled psychotherapy setting, have the potential to alleviate conditions that don’t respond to conventional drugs and therapy and may help neuroscientists interrogate the neural basis of consciousness, by using advanced imaging techniques to map changes in brain activity and chemistry to altered perception, moods and perspective.
