We’ve been thinking about how people consume their news & how we can better share research published in JCS. We came up with ‘JCS snapshots’, which allow the #cellbio community to hear and see the key research findings from the authors. #AuthorVoice #AudioVisual #JCSSnapshots

Macrophages sense and adapt. Roberto Amadio highlights recent work from Wenyan Xie and colleagues. Roberto: “The huge amount of data (…) is of high value not only to cancer biologists, but also to cell biologists and clinicians”. #preLight ⬇️ 👀 👉prelights.biologists.com/highlights/an-…

Blurring the lines between retrotransposons & viruses! sORF2 enables envelope-independent, direct transmission of retrotransposons challenging our understanding of mobile genetic elements. #preLight from Ally Simpson & Alyss Humphrey UAZImmunobiology ! 👉prelights.biologists.com/highlights/dir…

At the The Company of Biologists #biologists100 conference, I worked with preLights to interview some of the researchers presenting their #preprint. The first two have been published. (1/3)
