The CrickConnect team are delighted to be able to invite community members to join us for the institute's regular Crick Lecture.
Crick Lectures provide a broad insight into biomedical research from leading scientists. Not to be missed, the one-hour lectures are the event of the week for the Crick community to come together. The lectures aim to be accessible to scientists across different disciplines, while also offering something for the specialist.
There is also an opportunity to catch up with colleagues and friends over refreshments after Crick Lectures from 17:00. If you are able to join us in person at the Crick please let us know at connect@crick.ac.uk so we can arrange access.
Panel discussion: “Publish or perish: do today’s scientific journals have a future?"
This week's Crick lecture slot will be in the form of a panel discussion.
John Inglis, Executive Director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, joins Crick Associate Research Director James Briscoe, Magdalena Skipper, Editor in Chief at Nature, and Head of Crick Library Services Beth Montague-Hellen, for a discussion on open science and the publishing landscape.
How and where will your research be published in the future? Is our current publishing model broken, and what can be done to fix it? These and other important and controversial questions will be the subject of this unusual Crick lecture, which will be a Q&A session with expert internal and external speakers.
Due to the pioneering and sensitive nature of some of the research discussed in these lectures, only Crick Lectures from selected speakers will be shared, and we ask all attendees to respect the private nature of these talks by refraining from making any type of recording, sharing access details or in any other way compromising the research that is discussed.
If you'd like to attend in person please let us know at connect@crick.ac.uk
