Faculty of 1000 Biology

Faculty of 1000 Biology is a group of experts in biology and biomedicine that provide post-publication peer review. The effort should help scientists wade through the ever expanding literature in order to keep up to date on the best papers and important advances in our field(s).

Our 2010 PNAS paper, "Larvae from afar colonize deep-sea hydrothermal vents after a catastrophic eruption" was reviewed.

I'm pleased that another one of my papers has just been reviewed. This one was more of a surprise. Often the papers that are reviewed are in the big name journals - Science, Nature, PNAS, Current Biology, etc. This makes sense, as they often contain the major advances. However, it wasn't my Science paper or even my Nature Communications paper. The most recent review is on a review of larval biology and dispersal at hydrothermal vents in Oceanography, by myself and two other exemplary early career female scientists, Shawn Arellano and Breea Govenar... now a Recommended read. Thanks!
