BiO’s new ‘A Year at the Forefront of…’ series of Review articles by early-career reseearchers aims to highlight key developments that have made an impact in a specific biological field during the past year. Read more and propose a Review here.

Application deadline: 30 June 2023 Do you have an idea for a Workshop? We are now accepting proposals for our 2025 Biologists Workshops programme. As the scientific organiser, your involvement will be focused on the science. We'll take care of all the logistics. In 2025 we'll continue our efforts to diversify our Workshop programme and will be reserving one of our Workshops for an application from a Global South (GS) country to host an event overseas.

BiO and our publisher The Company of Biologists offer a number of practical ways to help you meet the unique needs and challenges you may encounter as an early-career researcher (ECR). Visit our dedicated ECR webpage to find out more.

Have a paper that has been reviewed elsewhere? BiO is pleased to consider such manuscripts for fast-tracked decision making. Send us your manuscript together with the full set of reviews and decision letters, and we will make an initial decision in one week (or less).

BiO’s Future Leader Reviews help early-career researchers:

• Establish themselves in their field
• Find a foothold in a new area after a subject change post-PhD/postdoc
• Build their profile for grant, fellowship and job applications
