This is the second time I have published Open Access in Journal of Experimental Biology through the Read & Publish agreement with Brock University. I strongly believe that publishing Open Access helps our research reach a broader audience. This is a relevant opportunity for researchers with limited funding, and only one of the ways through which The Company of Biologists supports early-career researchers. Journal of Experimental Biology also offers immense support through ECR Spotlights, as well as research highlights such as Inside JEB. They also planted a tree in The Forest of Biologists on behalf of my paper, meaning that they are invested in conservation to boot.
