The fundamental question is this: can the wisdom of crowds be exploited to post-filter the literature?
Disease models and mechanisms in the classroom
At the University of Pennsylvania (PENN), we devote an entire graduate-level course to the study of human disease models: Seminar on Current Genetic Research: Modeling Human Disease in Diverse Genetic Systems
Visualizing anti-tumor immune responses in vivo
Real-time imaging of stromal and immune cells in tumors is an emerging field that will greatly help us to understand the role of these non-malignant tumor components in tumor progression and therapy

Read & Publish Open Access publishing: what authors say
We have had great feedback from authors who have benefitted from our Read & Publish agreement with their institution and have been able to publish Open Access with us without paying an APC. Read what they had to say.
The Forest of Biologists
Our Publisher Claire Moulton recently visited the two Woodland Trust UK sites where we are planting new native trees for published Research and Review papers and protecting ancient woodland on behalf of our peer reviewers.
