Great being part of this team - I learnt so much and the open and collaborative nature of how the paper was developed was a really great way to do science! And on that note, we really welcome constructive comments during the open review of the preprint - see the link below!
The second paper of the Current Perspectives on Biosphere Research Initiative is available as a preprint and constructive comments are welcome during the open review process, which ends on 6 November.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples.

The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.
