Reflecting on #biologists100 last week, I greatly enjoyed meeting past colleagues and getting to know the work of @Co_Biologists better. The experience reinforced for me the importance of society own journals and their work.
From the programme, I especially enjoyed the talks of Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz and Manu Prakash in the emerging technologies session, #microscopy is the future! (1/2).
The preList for the @Co_Biologists conference #biologists100 is out! With @preLights we compiled the cutting-edge research and exciting preprints that were presented last week Check it out here:

If I missed a #preprint you presented then you can still let me know here: https://forms.gle/X5qYDFiyuW246gBm7
After a joyous few days at #Biologists100 I return to... review requests, grant deadlines, paper resubmission, bulging inbox, aka real life. Not moaning, I feel energised - let's go!
