In support of #OpenScience, we routinely ask authors to openly share their #research #code before publication. We are now formalizing this practice with a mandatory #code-sharing policy and clarifying what we mean by code sharing. May be nice to cut-out the box for reference plos.io/47dPeOW 🧪

Pleased to share that our paper on Cryptococcus neoformans-Mycobacterium tuberculosis interactions has been #published! We found that C. neoformans cells exhibit increased virulence traits in the presence of tuberculosis-causing pathogens. @mrccmm.bsky.social dx.doi.org/10.1099/jmm....
