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…
Being a scientist is about more than just research alone: there is publishing involved, teaching and outreach, and keeping on top of new developments in policy and data sharing issues.

The course aims to demonstrate how the internet is continuing to improve the ways in which life scientists and clinical researchers can access,…
Last Wednesday I found myself at the Prince Charles Theatre, Leicester Square, for the premiere of rapper Baba Brinkman’s new project, the teaching version of The Rap Guide to Evolution. I had been looking forward to this, having come across Brinkman at a rather dodgy bar in North London last year.

While Faculty of 1000 is the go-to website for all life science and medicine researchers, we don’t really cater for high school or college students. This is the nature of the enterprise: our F1000 Members select research papers for their relevance to other working researchers, to keep abreast with what’s new or exciting (or both)…
