preLights interview with Christian Mosimann
Posted by the Node, on 2 June 2021
preLights, our sister community site here at The Company of Biologists, just published an interview with developmental biologist and zebrafish aficionado Christian Mosimann. It covers his research history, career trajectory, and, as in this quote, his views on preprints in science:
“I only preprint papers that we send out for peer review at a journal and not to stake a claim on something, and I’ve found this to be very helpful for job searches and for grants….I think the more we normalise preprinting our work we are confident in, the more we can show everyone that nobody is going to scoop you the very next morning if you put your research on a preprint server.”
