Preprints are free to post and read (which is fantastic!) but the services that enable this aren't free to run. So, how can we financially sustain these services?

There's plenty of examples of models that differ from monopoly capitalism. I believe we have a choice.

This blog is my reflection on the current situation, building on many other people's work and opinions. Thanks to Michael Taster @ LSE Impact blog for the chance to write this!

Looking forward to reading these results (from #NatureMedicine's '11 clinical trials that will shape medicine in 2023'

"Prophylactic vaccines against human papilloma virus (HPV), first rolled out 15 years ago, protect women against cervical cancer and are now routinely offered to young girls in most high-income countries. As time moves on, more women who were vaccinated as girls become eligible for cervical cancer screening, and it is important to understand the most effective screening approaches in a vaccinated population. This trial is important, as it is the first large-scale randomized controlled trial internationally that will assess primary HPV screening in a population that is heavily vaccinated against HPV."
