2 February 2022 - Cell biologist Prachee Avasthi has a longstanding interest in cilia, which she began studying in mammalian photoreceptor cells as a graduate student, before adopting the single-cell green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as her model organism. Prachee was recently appointed Chief Scientific Officer of the newly created Arcadia Science, and she also serves as president of the non-profit science organization ASAPbio. ASAPbio is EMBO’s partner in the peer-reviewed preprint platform, Review Commons. Prachee and Review Commons project leader Thomas Lemberger joined the EMBO podcast for a discussion on open science, preprints, peer review, and the importance of community.
