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…
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…
The F1000Prime Outreach team are scheduling more visits to, and presentations at, many academic and research institutions in 2014, and attending more conferences. Here are the dates, venues and presentation topics so far, including five talks over three days in Milan, Italy, next week. With a number of important new features being added to F1000Prime…
The Faculty of 1000 team had a great time attending the 2013 Charleston Conference. It was a pleasure to participate and meet lots of old and new faces at our vendor booth and cocktail hour. Iain H, our Outreach Director from London, flew over the pond to give two presentations. First, Iain talked about how…
Jerome Korzelius, an F1000 Specialist, guest posts on his experience at EDRC 2013. To paraphrase EDRC co-organizer Jordi Casanova, it felt almost rebellious, all these scientists coming together to talk about fundamental research on the model organism Drosophila (aka the fruit fly) in times of scant funding and increased pressure on scientists to do more…
Jerome Korzelius, a new F1000 Specialist, guest posts on his experience at EMBO 2013. The EMBO Meeting 2013 was held in the vibrant city of Amsterdam. This annual event covered the breadth of the life sciences in Europe. With a more general focus, instead of concentrating on a single field, the meeting is ideal for…
With the end of the summer here in the northern hemisphere the nights are growing longer and, with the start of the academic year, so is our schedule of external presentations, panels and workshops. Below is a list of our external presentations/talks, panel discussions, and educational workshops until the end of 2013, so far. These…
This is a guest post written by Associate Faculty Member Michael Verwey. Michael works with Faculty Member Shimon Amir in the Physiology Faculty. Earlier this year, Michael won one of the 2012 AFM travel grants – each winner receives $250 towards attending a scientific conference of their choice.

In the next few weeks, F1000 staff and guest speakers will be presenting our various products in different cities in the UK and US and attending a number of conferences. As usual, you can expect to see some of our staff exhibiting at major scientific conferences, but we have a few extra events planned as…
