Wise words here from Sandy Schmid (Sandra Schmid), CSO of the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network. As well as interviewing Sandy, I had the pleasure of attending her talk on ‘Navigating a career in the biomedical sciences’ - a talk I’d highly recommend (and one I wish I’d heard about 20 years ago)!

Lastly, another reason to publish with J Cell Science is that they plant a tree for every paper published with them, and you become part of the The Forest of Biologists. A great idea to increase biodiversity. Our paper is Tree no. 5012, which is a Wild Cherry tree: shorturl.at/ciET1
