Guest post written by Roseline Dzekem Dine (2023 ASAPbio Fellow) 2024 was transformative for the Review and Curate Network, as we championed open science, preprint sharing, and collaborative peer review in Rwanda and across Africa. This year, we launched impactful programs and saw significant milestones that reflected our mission to foster transparency and inclusivity in research.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce the ASAPbio Fellow program – a six-month program structured to provide participants with tools and skills to drive discussions about the productive use of preprints in the life sciences, and to become ASAPbio representatives at their institutions or scientific conferences.
