The #spotLight episode for this #preLight is out (as of yesterday). Recorded with the preLights team (@Co_Biologists) I chatted with @kristine_willis about the #preprints covered in the preLight.

As well as discussing the trend in funding and publications towards more clinical research, it was also really interesting to talk about how important #Science gets recognition.

The spotLight episode is available to listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-X3dYl7dHQ

Thanks to the fantastic PreLights team @co_biologists and @JontyTownson for a great conversation about our recent preprints describing how to support and predict scientific breakthroughs, and what that means for how we distribute science funding.

Give it a listen! https://youtu.be/u-X3dYl7dHQ

If the current moment has anything to teach us, it should be that we need a more diverse and resilient ecosystem for funding science.

New at The Progress Bar: How do we give our system for allocating scarce grant funds an update for the 21st century? Approach it like any other empirical problem and use data.
