Thrilled to announce that three wonderful preLighters will take up the #preLightsAmbassador role this year: Isabella Cisneros (NIH IRTA), Chee Kiang (Ethan) Ewe (Tel Aviv University) & Shreya Pramanik (Oregon Health and Science University)

They’ll be taking over from Jennifer Ann Black, Martin Estermann, Girish Kale & Juan Moriano who have all done a brilliant job over the last year helping preLights expand as a platform for preprint discussions and community building!
