"In this emerging paradigm, literature reviews are no longer retrospective summaries but become dynamic scaffolds for real-time reasoning across the scientific process for a faster, fairer and more connected research ecosystem."

"The traditional academic publishing system evolved in an era of printing presses and cadence-based journals. The Publish Review Curate (PRC) model offers a way to finally drag this system into the age of an open, collaborative, real-time Internet."

"The answer is to fix peer review so it meets the needs of modern science, not to scrap it entirely or pretend it can work ad hoc in the comments section of a preprint."

Here's our final evaluation of the #preprint by @AlanRKay and @s_aminzare from @uiowa:
Kay and Aminzare discuss a claim made in a prior publication that macromolecular condensation acts as a water buffering mechanism in cells to compensate for the effects of osmotic shock.

Dear cryo-EM women scientists,
We want to honor you and your contributions at BPS 2025.
This year, the Cryo-EM subgroup will honor a mid/senior-career woman scientist as the inaugural June Almeida awardee.
June Almeida is the virologist who first discovered the coronavirus in 1967 using negative stain electron microscopy. Her story, like many women we know, is remarkable. womenshistory.org/education-…
It is in the spirit of June Almeida’s innovative research that this award is named. The awardee, in addition to receiving an honorarium, will present their research at the BPS CryoEM Subgroup Symposium. The deadline for nominations for the Almeida Award is November 1st, and details of the award and the application process can be found at (biophysics.org/Awards-Fundin…). Nomination packets should be sent to bps.cryo.em.subgroup@gmail.com.
Questions? Contact @OliBClarke, me, @MeghnaG27 @PilarCossio2 or @10feng
♥️We sincerely hope to see you at BPS 2025 in LA to celebrate achievements and advances in cryo-EM!

Also holds true for science illustrations... especially when communicating research to the wider public.

This paper introduces a useful distinction of *cognitive* accessibility to research, beyond just physical accessibility. This is why Open Access Science needs to include open access to the data/tools that will help us make sense of science >

"The BMGF is placing more value on early, open, and inclusive research dissemination. The method it is employing is to lead with the preprint, and de-prioritize – but not remove – the scholarly journal."
