Solving For Science

Here at SolvingFor, we turn your ideas into action, and this is a big one: For our next campaign, we're proud to announce a new, journal-free system for scientific publishing — designed by and for scientists! 📢 Immunologists: join the pilot this winter! solvingfor.org/news-posts-dat…

Check out the SolvingFor Booth at CICON24! To our signed up participants, thank you for your patience! The Discovery Stack Pilot is ready to launch, keep an eye out for SolvingFor in your inbox in the upcoming weeks!

If you are an experienced scientist, science communicator, editor, or other professional experienced within or in support of academia, we encourage you to apply to help us implement this revolutionary study to improve peer review!

The Board is delighted to announce that we’re hiring a new executive director! Deadline is April 25, but applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis! Start date is ASAP, and no later than July 1. Learn more and apply at solvingfor.org/careers

Excellent seminar yesterday w/ @cshperspectives of @biorxivpreprint & @medrxivpreprint and @MaxKrummel of @SolvingForSci! Preprints accelerate science, but their high volumes need to be parsed. Discovery stack could improve that process. Can't wait to see how the pilot goes! 🤞

@biorxivpreprint @MaxKrummel @cshperspectives more info on our upcoming talks at NYU and Columbia 👇

In the NYC/Philly area? Come learn about what's happening at @biorxivpreprint and SolvingFor! Join @MaxKrummel and @cshperspectives as they hit the road: NYU and Columbia on March 18th and UPenn on March 20th!

📢Attention graduate students📢 Interested in #SciComm? Applications are due on March 22nd to come join us at #ComSciCon24! bit.ly/3uMJGv2. Its from July 24-27 at the beautiful Emerson College campus in the heart of Boston, MA. Stay tuned for more soon--

Curious about academic publishing's future? Looking for open-access alternatives? Upcoming seminar at UPenn w/ @cshperspectives of @biorxivpreprint & @medrxivpreprint and @MaxKrummel from @SolvingForSci should be illuminating!💡 🕤3/20 10:30-11:30AM 📍CRB, Austrian Auditorium

The data tells part of the story. For a first-hand perspective, check out this post from the brilliant Abbey Morris! solvingfor.org/news-posts-dat… P.S. you can also find us on the 🦋 app too! @/solvingforsci.bsky.social

The results are in and ENGAGE — our professional development course focused on #SciComm was a hit! It was an experiment. We tried something very different - a focus on communication strategies, not just tactics

@CindyLeifer @profvrr @stephanielangel @BioProfBarker @AngCuiPhD Great episode! Thanks so much for the shoutout for our publishing pilot: Discovery Stack solvingfor.org/dsdc-pilot

Ever wondered the ABCs of immunology? The #Immune talk with Ang Cui about the recently published Immune Dictionary. A Tour-de-force of immune cell responses to cytokines! @profvrr @stephanielangel @BioProfBarker @AngCuiPhD youtu.be/8-d_xYb9tFY?si…

That's a wrap! on ENGAGE, our second campaign of 2023— a #SciComm course crafted and hosted by the extraordinary @LizNeeley! Check out our new blog to hear about it first-hand from an ENGAGE participant, the brilliant Abbey Morris 🥳 solvingfor.org/news-posts-dat…

Well, that's really interesting about science publication & review. If you want to make things truly better, go big early. Watch this space carefully...

@cshperspectives @robinsall You got it, Richard!

@robinsall As I understand the idea is to separate those: reviewed for science quality first, then for impact. Latter involves more people, is ongoing, and can have personalised filter

Really interesting experiment in peer review for the future - and you can join in if you’re an immunologist!

@cshperspectives Thank you for the share!

Immunologists, are you stuck in peer review purgatory? 🕙 Or perhaps you're closing out the year with a new preprint! We've got the pilot for you! Sign up to share your preprint, and let's fix publishing together! solvingfor.org/dsdc-pilot

Last but not least, we're thrilled to have @AGoldrath among our new board members. She had an "ah ha!" moment about scientific culture change that resonates with so many PI's—check it out: solvingfor.org/news-posts-dat…

Next up in new board members, we're delighted to feature @ordovas_phd. Check out his take on what makes our community so special: solvingfor.org/news-posts-dat…

Our team is growing! This week we're proud to introduce the newest members of our board. First up: @SaraSuliman13! Read more about what she's excited to tackle with us, and why she's committed to culture change: solvingfor.org/news-posts-dat…
