My latest plesiosaur paper, open access, with @leneliebedelsett and others.

I first started working on this fossil material in 2005!

Delsett, L.L., Smith, A.S., Ingrams, S., and Schneider, S. 2024. Boreal waterways: An Early Cretaceous plesiosaur from Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canadian Arctic and its palaeobiogeography. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 69 (4): 565–585.

Highly-respected non-profit journals like @Dev_journal support scientific communities. Authors are proud to publish there.

But, when your paper is rejected by a glam journal, it is tempting to avoid re-review by sliding down commercial ecosystems

But wait! Look! Development say “we will also consider papers with reviewer reports from other journals.” Game changer!

Plus: rigorous and fair reviewing system that avoids excessive additional experiments.

Our new preprint is out - please share!
 
We asked: How can we make CRISPR knockouts *in vivo* more efficient? Along the way we set up an assay that enables visualization of CRISPR cutting with 100s-1000s of sgRNAs over entire chromosome arms in living animals.
