- What happens in the lab while you’re away @mrccmm.bsky.social
- Fantastic to see so many big players in the publishing sector moving towards transparent and open practices.
- @microbiologysociety.org have been at this for a while on their innovative Open Research Platform, Access Microbiology. If you like the sounds of this, but your work isn't quite Nature level, send it to Access Microbiology www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour... #PeerReview #OpenScience #SciPub
- Reposted by Seána DugganFinally! @nature.com is making #PeerReview reports public. Transparency like this is a huge win for science, trust, & credibility. Now if only they'd adopt #doubleblind review and always disclose reviewer identities, they might be as transformative as @stacksjournal.bsky.social #SciPub 🧪
- Wrapping up a lovely few days in Jena for the JSMC & ILRS alumni meeting at @leibniz-hki.de, seeing all the old haunts and catching up with so many wonderful people. I’m in awe of science in Jena, going from strength to strength and leveraging all the talent & infrastructure there.
