Meet the latest Peer Review Training cohort (Part 2)

Peer reviewers are vital to science, but early career scientists in our field rarely receive formal training in how to be a good reviewer. GSA and GENETICS are addressing this gap with a program that gives early career members real-world peer review experience. Participants will receive online training and advice from GENETICS editors as they become reviewers for manuscripts submitted to the journal. This week, we’re introducing the most recent cohort of peer reviewers in the program, so check back to meet the rest of these scientists learning about the integral work of peer review.
