Two excellent new #preLights were posted today! 👀

One discusses a new player in establishing immune tolerance: How Insm1 regulates mTEC gene expression.

#preLighters Marina Schernthanner #RockefellerUniv & Jessica Chevallier #centuri_ls cover a #preprint from Wehuai Tao and colleagues.

Meet the #preLighters: Monica Tambalo 🌟

https://prelights.biologists.com/news/meet-the-prelighters-a-virtual-catch-up-with-monica-tambalo/

Monica is a #postdoc #HUNIMED who studies the molecular mechanisms underlying neurogenesis and human neurodevelopmental disorders.

We spoke about her #career, future #goals, and the importance of #preprints and #community.

As part of the #preLights5thBirthday celebrations, we’ve asked #preLighters what they think is the best thing preLights offers the biological #community.

This video bundles together some of the lovely responses we’ve received. 🎥

Special thanks to Angika Basant, Divya Pathak, Kanika Khanna, Jade Chan, Ethan Ewe, Saanjbati Adhikari, Giuliana Clemente, Laura Celotto & Juan Moriano!

Setting (and teaching) the right example at the right time: #PeerReview classes at undergraduate level lead to increased scientific literacy and a heightened sense of belonging to the biological #community.

#preLighters Kanika Khanna, Giuliana Clemente, @JACoates & Reinier Prosee highlight an important #preprint from Dr Lijek and team showing that #PeerReview classes at undergraduate level (#MtHolyoke) lead to increased scientific literacy & sense of belonging in STEM.

Meet the #preLighters: Chee Kiang (Ethan) Ewe. 🌟

https://prelights.biologists.com/news/meet-the-prelighters-a-virtual-chat-with-chee-kiang-ethan-ewe/

Ethan is a #postdoc in the lab of @Odedrechavi at Tel Aviv University, Israel, where he studies the molecular basis of epigenetic #inheritance.

We spoke about his very international #career, the #mentors along the way, his future #goals, and the importance of #preprints both to him and the biological #community.
