Scientific publishing norms were built for a world that no longer exists.
In this commentary, I argue that the future of scientific exchange may benefit from new channels of interaction and dissemination.

How Trump Blew Up Northwesternβs Business Model
The federal government froze the universityβs research funding. It hasnβt offered the school a way to get it back.
Unfortunately, the quiet freeze of Northwestern grants means I'll be tuning in via Bluesky. Sad to miss out on the great science + awesome community at #OHBM2025 β especially with the @ohbm-com.com folks!
