    Last summer, we were honored to host Magdalena Skipper, Editor of Nature, to share her tips with the community. When Nature announced its new Open Access policy in November 2020, we asked her to come back for another interview in January 2021, to discuss these specific issues. This episode is in two parts: the classic interview with Magdalena sharing her stories with the community and a second part with an extended discussion on the recent announcements made by Nature. As a consequence, this episode is longer than usual, but we believe that it includes enriched content that you will appreciate.

    In this episode Magdalena Skipper tell us about her role at Nature and her personal thoughts about editing, publishing and communicating science

    Magdalena offers tips to authors, including thinking about why you want to share your story, what the message of the paper is and who the audience isWe discuss a metaphor for the publishing process in which the author feels like a Medieval knight throwing the manuscript over the castle wallMagdalena sees herself more as a facilitator and reminds us that every stakeholder in the process is humanShe stresses that editors and publishers need to work to make the publishing process more transparentShe makes the point that the objective of peer review is to make the paper better and we talk about new models for publishing and sharing dataWe discuss how impact factors can be mis-used and what alternative metrics existMagdalena tells us how she feels as the first woman editor at Nature and about prizes for women scientists.

    She mentions these journals and institutions :

    MRC Laboratory of Molecular BiologyCancer Research UKNature journalNature Research

    Mentoring in Science Award

    In the first episode of the new year we talk to Oded Rechavi about his unusual way of doing science and new ways of sharing science.

    He tells us about his meandering path from painting in Paris to studying epigenetics in wormsOded repeatedly highlights the importance of not over-planning one’s career or path in science He stresses that it’s important to keep encountering new ideas, testing and failing and reacting with spontaneity. Like Maria-Elena told us, he says “sometimes you have to just go for it” He advises young scientists not to wait until you are completely ready but to apply for new jobs as early as you canOded has a deep commitment to challenging established dogmasHe tells us about why he spends so much time on Twitter and his use of the #physiologicallyrelevant hashtagOded tells us about the origins of the unusual “Woodstock of Biology” meeting

    He mentions these labs and events :

    Tel Aviv UniversityColumbia UniversityThe Woodstock of Biology“Transgenerational biology” Oded’s talk at TEDx
