“Talk to your librarian.” It’s remarkable how often I have to use this sentence, considering I don’t work with books, don’t work in academia anymore, and rarely set foot in a library myself. But whenever I visit universities to talk about the work that F1000 does (from F1000Prime article recommendations to the open science platform…
Our next #F1000Talks tweet chat will discuss how patient advocates gather scientific information and expert advice, and will take place on July 24th at 1 PM EST/6 PM GMT. Our guests will be AnneMarie Ciccarella (@chemobrainfog), Lori Marx-Rubiner (@regrounding), Amy Price (@AmyPricePhD) and David Gilbert (@DavidGilbert43).

Since our last #f1000tour update in January, we’ve planned a number of trips this summer/autumn. With our reference management tool under development and user testing commencing soon, the UK and US outreach team are visiting a number of institutes and conferences to engage life scientists with Faculty of 1000’s services and future products. You’ll find…
Following yesterday’s UK budget announcement by Chancellor George Osborne, we look at the implications for UK life scientists and those thinking of embarking on a PhD.
Next Wednesday (March 26th) F1000 arrive in Cambridge for the next F1000 Meetup. This event is open to all life science researchers and clinicians in the Cambridge area. If you’re nearby please join us in Baroosh for an evening of discussing life science, publishing, careers and much more. Drinks and snacks are provided throughout the…
Tomorrow F1000 is heading to Göttingen to visit the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry to give a presentation on innovations in discovering literature from 3pm, Ludwig-Prandtl Hall, Administration building. I’ll also be hosting the next F1000 meet-up in the same venue from 6pm onwards. This meet-up is specifically for Max Planck students. Refreshments will be…
Calling all life science and clinical researchers at Durham University, your trial to F1000Prime is active and allows you full access to all content in F1000Prime! This includes F1000Journal Clubs – our recently launched tool for creating, organizing, and sharing the outputs of your journal club meetings.
The obvious answer to this question is graduate school. However, getting through graduate school is easier said than done. You may not have realized the amount of your time a PhD will eat up, how much it costs, or the people who you’ll heavily rely on to get you through. Those of you who have…
On 30th January, F1000 attended University of Bath’s Biology and Biochemistry Research Day. This annual event gives researchers in this department a chance to showcase their latest research to their peers. In total, 45 posters were displayed, categorised into first-, second- and third-year PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. Between poster exhibitions, five presentations were given…
