This month on the Node- March 2015
Posted by the Node, on 1 April 2015
Here are some of the highlights on the Node in the last month:
Discussion:
– Following your feedback to our survey, this month we launched a new feature to encourage more discussion on the Node- Question of the Month! Every month you can expect a new question on an interesting or controversial topic, and we hope that you will join the discussion by leaving your thoughts. Our first question is about developmental biology funding.
– Should researchers collaborate more with amateur scientists? Mickey argues why we should, and is developing a wiki to make these interactions easier.
Outreach and advocacy:
– This month saw two new additions to our ongoing series on science outreach. Heather wrote about her experience doing science communication on live TV in New Zealand, while Anne suggested an outreach activity using flies.
– Rebecca posted about her visit to the USA Congress, and shares her thoughts and experience on how best promote science research funding with political representatives.
Also on the Node:
– The Journal of Cell Science posted part 1 and part 2 of a series of cartoons about the ups and downs of establishing your own lab.
– Cat reported from this year’s Drosophila meeting.
– And we announced the winner of the last round of images from the Woods Hole course
Happy Reading!
