Another amazing way the @biologists.bsky.social family of journals support our community. publish in non-profit journals--don't feed the Spring/Nature Elsevier monsters

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

Our review on lipid transfer protein dimerizations is now published in @jcellsci.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
