I am delighted that our Research Article was published immediately Open Access in Journal of Cell Science, and without having to pay an author processing charge, under the Read & Publish agreement between The Company of Biologists and University of Toronto. This means our work is quickly disseminated to the widest possible global audience without any barriers to access. It was also a great surprise to learn that a tree was planted on our behalf in The Forest of Biologists!
