    I already knew about the outstanding reputation of Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM) and The Company of Biologists. However, when I learned that the University of Florida has a Read & Publish agreement that included free Open Access publication in DMM, I was delighted. The submission, review, and publication stages of our article exceeded my expectations. Perhaps, the biggest surprise was that they planted a tree in The Forest of Biologists in recognition of our article. This initiative is lovely. I encourage any university to support their investigators by providing them the opportunity to publish free, Open Access, and high quality articles through similar agreements.
