Okay cell biologists - where are you? 👀
So it turns out you’re all here! It’s great to see the community growing. Here’s to happier times!
On that note, here’s your friendly reminder that JCS is a community journal published by a not-for-profit organisation (@biologists.bsky.social) that exists to benefit scientists, not shareholders 😁
