Preprints in Motion
By Dr Jonny Coates
Science is experiencing a revolution. Preprints have accelerated the sharing of scientific findings and helped to make academia more equitable. Join our host, immunologist and open-science advocate, Dr Jonny Coates, as he explores the freshest science with the early career researchers who did the work; discussing their science, thoughts on academic life, publishing and much more. So sit back and join us as we dive into the fast-paced world of preprints and dismantle the outdated traditional publishing models.
