Development presents… preLights third birthday special
Posted by the Node, on 26 January 2021
The next webinar in our Development presents… series will be a little different: rather than being chaired by a Development editor, the preLights team will be in control. preLights is the preprint highlights service run by the biological community and supported by The Company of Biologists, and in February they celebrate their third birthday.
We brought together three preLighters with interests in developmental biology – Sundar Naganathan, Irepan Salvador-Martinez and Grace Lim – who have each invited authors of recent exciting preprints to give talks. The preLighters will chair the talks and the Q&As, and we’ll also hear from outgoing preLights Community Manager Mate Palfy about three years in the life of a preprint-focused community. We hope to see you there!
Wednesday 10 February 2021 – 13:00 GMT

The webinar will be held in Remo, our browser-based conferencing platform – after the talks you’ll have the chance to meet the speakers and other participants at virtual conference tables. If you can’t make it on the day, talks will be available to watch for a couple of weeks after the event (look out for details on the Node).
