Thank you Lynmarie Thompson, @leventallab.bsky.social and
@arianebriegel.bsky.social for your service to the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social and in organizing the 2026 BPS Meeting!
We often get questions about the ins-and-outs of Presubmission Enquiries when engaging with scientists. Are they important? Will they help my paper get sent for review? Can they benefit me? If you're curious as well, please check out our editorial in the Feb issue!
