Had so much fun creating this Short together with Teodora.
As she put it: “The video is a condensed summary of the main [#preprint] findings, sprinkled with some beautiful immunofluorescence images and behind-the-scenes from the lab. Just perfect for late-evening, productive doomscrolling 😊”
So grateful that my partner and I are able to share our parental leave. Today, my part starts! 🍼👨🍼
Couldn’t agree more with this piece that recently appeared on #BBCNews: ‘Two weeks of paternity leave is just too little for the 21st Century’! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Highlighting preprint stories from within the preLights community 📽️
Here, Teodora narrates her preprint showing that functional decline in the ageing retinal epithelium results from a change in the mechanical balance of the tissue due to natural cell loss!

Really enjoyed being involved in this. María has got a real talent for creating these short, engaging videos. ⭐️

I don’t normally highlight #preprints myself but couldn’t help writing something about this study (reminding me of my own PhD work #SteinerLab)
Thanks Jeremy and Harmit for your insightful responses (included in the post) 🙏 please check it out ⬇️
I was asked to #PeerReview a timely perspective article now published in @jexpbiol.bsky.social. As a result of this activity, a tree was protected in the #ForestOfBiologists. 🌳 Such a fun, bio-positive and important initiative from @biologists.bsky.social 🙌

Hard to remember that just 12 years ago there was no @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social and almost no one in the biology community preprinted their work. What a long way we’ve come. @reinierprosee.bsky.social and I wrote a thing about how @biologists.bsky.social embraced the preprint world
Delighted to speak with @reinierprosee.bsky.social @prelights.bsky.social about the work that we do at the Journal of Emerging Investigators. Check it out here!
When Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory announced the launch of bioRxiv in November 2013, only the braver or more radical amongst us would have predicted that it heralded a lasting change within the scienc...

New #Spotlight episode!
@ryanharrison13.bsky.social, Stefan and @reinierprosee.bsky.social talk with Katelyn Cooper, first author of a groundbreaking preprint—the first in-depth analysis of the LGBTQ+ climate in the biological sciences.

Hidden no longer. New work reveals that a core centromere chaperone has been conserved across animals far more broadly than we realised.

There are so many fun ways to approach research dissemination!
Tried the @prelights.bsky.social spotLight video format to share our latest published work on how ZIC2 shapes early neural development!
Total YouTuber vibes: and I kinda' loved it, tbh. 🤳🔬👇
