Patrice Salomé of Plant Editors explains the correct use of standard error. We are very used to seeing plots with error bars around data points. These data points are most often the mean of a number of technical replicates collected during a given experiments; you will likely assume that the error bar represents the standard…

Patrice Salomé of Plant Editors lays out the difference between biological and technical replicates with an easy-to-digest analogy. You just found a new cookie recipe you want to try out. Before serving an untested baked good to your friends and family, you decide to make one batch to make sure they are as good as…

Model figure showing the process of leaf senescence, with EIN2 repressing expression of the microRNA locus MIR164. Transcription of MIR164 and processing produces the miR164 microRNA, which targets the ORE1 transcript for degradation. At the bottom, a diagram depicts the decreasing amounts of mir164 and increasing amounts of ORE1 as the healthy leaf progresses through leaf senescence.

Scientists pour countless hours into their research, meticulously gathering data and uncovering new insights. But effectively communicating these findings to the broader scientific community requires a different skill set: visual storytelling. That’s where well-designed figures come in. We sat down with Patrice Salomé of Plant Editors, where he works as a scientific editor for text…
