Are you the recipient of a Travelling Fellowship? Tell us your story
Posted by Saanjbati Adhikari, on 27 February 2025
Did you know that The Company of Biologists’ journals – Development, Journal of Cell Science, Journal of Experimental Biology and Disease Models & Mechanisms – offer Travelling Fellowships to early-career researchers (graduate students and postdocs) so that they can make collaborative visits to other research laboratories across the world? The first cohort of Travelling Fellowships was launched for Development in 1990, which was later extended to Journal of Cell Science (JCS) in 1992 and Journal of Experimental Biology (JEB) in 1996. Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), being a relatively younger journal (you can read about DMM’s origin in this Editorial), offered Travelling Fellowships to ECRs since it was launched in 2008.
As we celebrate the Company’s 100th birthday in 2025 (you can find out more about us in this recent Editorial), we would love to hear stories from you – our community – about how the Company has helped you in your scientific journey. If you ever received a Travelling Fellowship that enabled you to travel to other research labs, particularly in the period from 1990 to early 2000s, do get in touch and let us know about your experience and how this has impacted your career.
You can tell us your story by sending your own digital ‘message in a bottle’ in honour of the founder of the Company, George Parker Bidder III.
You can also share your story by replying to this post or to any of our social media posts with #biologists100 hashtag on Bluesky and X.
I am a Cross-title Features Editor at The Company of Biologists. So, you can also directly send your stories to me at saanjbati.adhikari@biologists.com or to our Science Communications Officer at scicomms@biologists.com.
Following your response, I might contact you to learn a bit more about your experience and career trajectory.
We look forward to hearing back from you.
