Last week publisher Claire Moulton visited the Young People’s Forest at Mead and Great Knott Wood, both managed by
@WoodlandTrust as we are working on a video about the #forestofbiologists. We can’t wait to share more material with you in due time.

We recently caught up with Steven Kelly Professor of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford former Editor in Chief of @BiologyOpen and the person who planted the seed that grew into the #forestofbiologists, on how this initiative came about, working with Woodland Trust and more.

For every #Research Article and #Review article that is published in Journal of Cell Science in 2023 and 2024, a #nativetree is planted in a forest in the UK.

We are also funding the restoration and preservation of #ancientwoodland and dedicating these trees to our peer reviewers.

Delighted to discover that my lab have been having lots of fun clicking on the beautiful trees on the #forestofbiologists website

They tell me they've enjoyed the 'lucky dip' feeling of stumbling across must-read papers that they hadn’t previously been aware of

A fun and rewarding (albeit somewhat stochastic) way of searching the literature!

Now we need to get on with submitting our work to a @Co_Biologists journal so that we can try for our very own tree... 🤞

It’s #TechnicalTuesday and we’re looking at segmentation. In their @BiologyOpen paper, @SaraRolfe and colleagues present MEMOS, a deep learning-enabled tool for segmentation of 3D imaging data from mouse embryos, which is implemented as an extension of the 3D Slicer App.

@Co_Biologists You can follow our progress and search for your tree in our virtual #forestofbiologists at https://forest.biologists.com. Each 'article' tree in the forest represents a real tree planted in Derbyshire.

If you reviewed for us since January, your tree will be added soon. These virtual trees represent work the Woodland Trust is doing to preserve and restore ancient woodland in the Lake District - work that's just as important as planting new trees.#forbiologists #forbiology

Our publisher, @Co_Biologists, has today announced the launch of the #forestofbiologists, a new #biodiversity initiative.

Planting native trees for #Research and #Review articles, and restoring and preserving ancient woodland in recognition of peer reviewers, this initiative aims to counteract nature loss and safeguard some of the most critically endangered #ecosystems for future generations.
