The are blogs for authors, editors, and the broader research community to share thoughts and discuss the context around the latest in research. To keep you up to date, we're starting a new series here on The Source where twice a month we'll highlight some of the interesting and diverse articles you can find on the Communities. Read on for our latest round-up.

From the way human bias is skewing chemistry algorithms to a Chief Editor's thoughts on how his journal covers climate change, here's a snapshot of some of the things we've been talking about on the Nature Research Communities blogs:

1. Exoplanet scientists say they've found their Disneyland: a near, bright system that offers something for everyone. .

2. Find out how human bias can affect the algorithms that chemists use to predict new reactions in . (And while you're at it, scroll down to the comments to see how the author made the cool image for the post!)

3. Decades after its discovery, californium's chemistry surprised researchers and led them down a new path of discovery.

4. Researchers explain how they made a new family of quasicrystals

5. Check out a recap on REECAP's September event  (REECAP = Research network on Economic Experiments for the Common Agricultural Policy). 

6. A new resource could help scientists better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Scientific Data authors describe it for .

7. Last month's Global Climate Strike inspired  by the Chief Editor of Nature Ecology & Evolution.
