@preLights I like what I read on your website "Our dedicated team of scientists from the community select, highlight and comment on preprints they feel are of particular interest to the biological community. You’ll find a summary of each preprint, the reasons it was selected and the selector’s thoughts on its significance. You might also see relevant comments from the preprints’ authors. And we’d really welcome your thoughts and comments too." https://prelights.biologists.com/about-us/

@preLights You add on that website "You can read preprint highlights on our website and stay up-to-date by signing up to alerts or following us on Twitter (@preLights) or Facebook (/preLights)."
Is it the plan to post them here too? That'll be very good.

Hi @jocelyn_etienne 👋 Thank you very much for pointing this out. Our website has now been updated to reflect our presence on Mastodon. I will make sure to toot about all preLights’ posts – in fact, the first one will follow later today, so stay tuned 😀

Great! Just a remark, although "@prelights" will be found I guess from most instances, mentioning your full handle @preLights would help.
Looking fwd to reading you!
