It was amazing, and a true honor, to be the first paper from Thomas Jefferson University published under our Read & Publish agreement with The Company of Biologists. Not only did it allow us to get our science out to the community quickly via Open Access, it provided a rigorous and widely-read venue to showcase the latest Mosca Lab results, and fulfilled a career-long dream of mine to publish in such a brilliant journal as Development. The fee-free nature also allows us to focus our funding on advancing science even further. I look forward to more journals opting for similar policies so we can focus on discovery and broad communication with other scholars!
