Judith Blake, a geneticist working at The Jackson Laboratory, US, is March’s featured Faculty Member of the Month. For International Women’s Day, we interviewed Blake to hear more about spotting patterns in research and her career trajectory in evolutionary biology.
The next few months will bring some exciting developments to F1000Prime. We are evolving and redesigning our website and service, to reflect the changing nature of science and to more fully support researchers in discovering the articles that really matter to their research.
Award season is upon us, and so at this time of the year we here at F1000Prime also like to recognize the outstanding contribution of our Faculty, who highlight the most notable articles in their fields!
