The Company of Biologists

We are ecstatic to announce The Company of Biologists, with their 5 journals, are joining our community initiative. Thank you so much to Alejandra Clark, and National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) (Anthony Holmes and Rachel Eyre) for sharing your platform with us, and allowing these new collaborations to flourish. Together with Nature Protocols, Wiley, F1000 , eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd. we are working to develop and trial interventions that make biomedical research more reliable, ethical and reproducible.

Join us on Thursday for #FocalPlaneFeatures microscopy education with Jennifer Waters and Robert Haase. Register here: https://lnkd.in/eJs-5Vkh #microscopy #education

At any event food is an integral part of your attendees’ experience. However, managing the impact of food choices is not straightforward in terms of sustainability. In this blog, we look at some more tips to help make the menus at your upcoming events more sustainable. https://lnkd.in/eeHS2pm6 #sustainability #eventplanning

We're now accepting proposals for our 2026 #BiologistsWorkshops programme. We aim to be responsive to the community and open to novel initiatives, so if you have an idea that you feel would work well, please apply by 19 July 2024. https://lnkd.in/dTPwfb6 In 2026 we will be continuing our efforts to diversify our Workshop programme and will again be reserving one of our Workshops for an application from a Global South (GS) country to host an event overseas. https://lnkd.in/eRNUDXcK

We’re delighted to be organising “SciCommConnect: Science communication, community connections" along with preLights and FocalPlane.   This half-day online event will focus on the different ways in which science can be communicated. We will hear from Dr Jamie Gallagher and Professor John B. Wallingford, who will share tips and tricks on how to make science talks and writing as interesting, engaging and memorable as possible. Also, there will be a Three Minute Research Talk competition (including cash prizes!) and three themed writing sprints.   We hope this will be a unique opportunity for participants to work on their science communication skills and network with fellow biologists across the world in a friendly, informal environment.   📅 Monday 10 June 2024 🕰️13:00-18:00 BST   Register to attend: https://lnkd.in/eb7PbykQ

We are excited to invite you to a unique scientific conference, celebrating our 100-year anniversary and bringing together our different communities. This centenary conference will incorporate the Spring Meetings of British Society for Cell Biology (BSCB) and the BRITISH SOCIETY FOR DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY (BSDB). It will further include the Journal of Experimental Biology Symposium Sensory Perception in a Changing World, and a Disease Models & Mechanisms Journal programme on antimicrobial resistance. Together, we are creating a truly unique conference, and we look forward to meeting many of you in Liverpool in March 2025 to celebrate this important milestone. Find out more and register your interest to attend at https://bit.ly/49mKFjN. You can also visit our booths at British Society for Cell Biology (BSCB) and the British Society for Developmental Biology (BSDB) Meetings this week. #biologists100 #biology #conference #research
