¹û¶³´«Ã½

is an international online forum for scientists working in the molecular and cellular life sciences. It is used to share information, news and insights, as well as to connect and collaborate – with the ultimate goal of helping to advance progress in these research areas. The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Network is open to all but allows users to create a profile page, post relevant content, sign up for alerts, and engage with posts and other users.

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Network currently presents most content from its invited experts and contributors in four themed ‘channels’: Research, Early-Career Scientist, Viewpoints and Educator. In addition, a few ‘rooms’ host content for specific ¹û¶³´«Ã½ community groups, for delegates attending certain ¹û¶³´«Ã½ events, or for scientists interested in particular subtopics. ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Constituent Societies are also able to post news in a ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Societies channel.

Most information is presented in the form of posts, authored by scientists, policy-makers, educators and other professionals in the molecular life sciences. Contributors span a wide career spectrum, from directors of key research institutes in Europe, highlighted by the , to the activities from the students and young researchers of the .

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Network has developed from a collaboration between ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and its journal publisher Wiley, and is hosted using software from Zapnito, who specialize in creating expert-led networks. The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Integration and Networking Committee of senior scientists oversees the aims and strategy of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Network. For more on this new initiative from ¹û¶³´«Ã½, see the ‘‘ post.

If you are interested in becoming a contributor to one of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Network channels, the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Integration and Networking Committee would be pleased to hear from you; please contact [email protected] for more information.
