Number 1

21 December, 2007

Here's a fantastic Christmas present:

The Journal of Cell Science is making its entire scanned archive freely available online. One hundred and fifty years of cell biology.

Lots of holiday reading there. Some interesting factoids in Fiona's editorial, too:

One eminent director of The Company of Biologists suggested we should simply call the new incarnation Cell – rightly, this was deemed an inappropriate title for a serious academic journal.

Har har — it's a laugh a minute in this business.

Happy Christmas everyone. See you next year.

Comments

I rather dislike one-word titles for journals (Science and Nature being exceptions), viz:

Blood
Chest
Bone
Epididymis

Ok, I made that last one up.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
