This week we celebrate the end of the year by chatting with our host Jonny Coates (@JACoates), Associate Director at ASAPBio. Join us for a conversation on the importance of all things preprints, science communication, open access, career development, and community building, plus his decision to leave academia and how this podcast started!

If you stay until the end, you might have a glimpse of how it is to record an episode with pets.

This week we discuss the big changes occurring over at eLife with Editor in Chief Mike Eisen & original ECAG member Devang Mehta. From Jan 2023, eLife is  focusing on public reviews and assessments of preprints and eliminating accept/reject decisions after peer review.

DISCLAIMER – These servers were reviewed from the approach of a first use instance and may not accurately reflect the full capabilities of each server. Moreover, any comments are opinions only.

Preprint servers. There’s an incredibly interesting history behind them (watch this space for more on that next year) but as of 2022 there are over 50 different preprint servers. No wonder it feels like they’re an inescapable topic these days. I mean, we’re contributing to that but hey. Some are highly specialised, such as EcoEvoRxiv (that’s ecology, evolution and conservation), and some are geo-restricted, such as AfriaRxiv.

Consideration of preprint servers based on discipline, scope, policies, and readership is relevant to inform where to deposit your preprint, and in turn to maximize visibility for the work and opportunities for feedback from researchers in your specific field. In this episode we take 3 of the top general bioscience preprint severs and put them to battle. We judge each on their:

• Appearance / ease of use – navigating and submitting
• Reach /size
• Journal integrations
• Additional offerings – public peer reviews, data, printing, links out, attention/metrics
• Positives of the server
• Negatives/improvement aspects of the server
• Why choose this server over the others?

This week we chat with Daniela Saderi, she is the Co-Founder and Director of PREreview (@prereview_), an open project with the mission to bring more equity and transparency to the evaluation of research content, giving systematically excluded researchers better ways to find, train, and contribute to peer review. In her role, she is responsible for partnership and community building, fundraising, and supervising the development of open infrastructure and programs.

This week we discuss modeling cell-cell collisions with Pedrom Zadeh, a 4th year PhD student at Johns Hopkins University. We learn how to distill basic biology into models and just how important and useful modeling can be as a tool.

This week we discuss how cells can divide without nuclei and why this happens with Anand Bakshi, Fabio Echegaray Iturra (@fabioechegaray) & Mustafa G. Aydogan @AydoganLab. We also highlight Drosophila as an amazing model system that just keeps on giving and speak about the importance of preprints in collaboration and  grant applications. We also discuss the limitations of preprints and the fluidity of science.

This week we discuss mitochondrial DNA and its importance in aging with Amy Vandiver (@AmyVandiver2). We also highlight a new method to quickly sequence full length mitochondrial DNA allowing for mitochondrial genome comparisons and the understanding of the diversity between mitochondrial DNA.  As usual we also discuss the process of pre-printing, preLights and how they can generate collaborations. As well as understanding more about the MD PhD group leader route.
