At @molbiosystems.bsky.social, we are giving away waivers at two large, broad-scope journals, to help people and make it easier to share exactly this type of work

Null & negative results ≠ failure. They’re essential—but still sidelined.

Proud to co-author this @plosbiology.org paper tackling systemic bias & calling for culture change.

ECRs pay the highest price for this biased culture!
