In this Editorial, @reinierprosee.bsky.social and @katherine-brown.bsky.social explore the transformation of the preprint landscape since 2013 and how @biologists.bsky.social has adapted to and embraced this (new) way of sharing research. doi.org/10.1242/bio....
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!
Really enjoyed being involved in this. María has got a real talent for creating these short, engaging videos. ⭐️
Check out her latest #spotLight below
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 ⬇️
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 😊”
Preprint Editors – Development's next step into the preprint landscape
In this Editorial, @reinierprosee.bsky.social, @amjeve.uk and @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social announce a call for Preprint Editors in Development. Apply by 30 March.

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 🙌

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...
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.
Highlight of beautiful work from @jeremyahollis.bsky.social & colleagues @harmitmalik.bsky.social Lab

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...
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. 🤳🔬👇

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!

Hidden no longer. By peering beyond sequence similarity, this work reveals that a core centromere chaperone has been conserved across animals far more broadly than we realised.
