We’re pleased to announce our new name and talk about the journey which led us to this point.
Carrie Bearden is a Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California in Los Angeles. Her research interests include genetic and neurobiological risk factors for developmental neuropsychiatric disorders.
Our Faculty has worked tirelessly this year to continue to ensure that we never miss a notable article. Therefore, each year it’s fitting that we recognise their valuable work by way of two types of award, namely our AFM Travel Grant Awards and Faculty Member of the Year Awards.
The Wuhan outbreak of COVID-19 is the most recent pandemic in a long list of animal-borne viruses that leave mounting death tolls and disruption in their wake. In recognition of this outbreak, we have made all recommendations on COVID-19 free to access on F1000Prime. The past weeks of media coverage on this outbreak has highlighted…
It’s the start of a new decade, and if you’re anything like us you’ve already started and failed a juice cleanse, lost that brand-new bullet journal you bought and fallen victim to a late-night burger during Veganuary. But what if a scientific approach is an answer to making sure you don’t fall into this statistic ever again?
The new decade has begun and with it marks the beginning of a new chapter for F1000. Here is Vitek Tracz, Chairman at F1000, to explain the changes taking place, with F1000Research leaving the nest, while we focus our attention on F1000Prime and F1000Workspace to provide a better way of assessing the quality of researchers’ contributions and a state of the art set of software tools.
In this blog, we discuss a paper recommended by the F1000Prime Faculty and published in Functional Ecology, where the authors discuss the idea that social interaction may not just increase the length of an individual’s life, but also impact the evolutionary success of an entire species.
In this blog, Anneliese Taylor, Head of Scholarly Communication, at the University of California San Francisco Library, shares the key tactics that the University of California system has developed and deployed to promote Open Access publishing within the system.
Patrice Forget is our Faculty Member of the Month. He is a Clinical Chair in Anaesthesia and a Professor at the University of Aberdeen. Over the past 10 years, he has published more than 100 articles, letters and editorials. In this blog, he gives us an insight into a day in his life and what he likes about being a member of the F1000Prime Faculty.
In the spirit of Halloween, this month we’re bringing you a very spooky story from the natural world. Research published in BMC Evolutionary Biology and recommended by the F1000Prime Faculty tells the horrifying tale of a fungus capable of controlling not only an ants mind, but it’s entire body, leading to the creature’s ultimate gruesome demise.
