Understanding the Scientific Publishing Industry

,
In over 350 years, scientific publishing has evolved and shaped the academic community to such lengths that “Publish or Perish” is almost the "anthem" of science. But how did it all start?  The beginning of scientific publishing  Before 1655, scholars would communicate their findings via…

Essay: The coming golden age of lichen biology

Lichens are remarkable, complex symbiotic organisms. They have evolved multiple times independently, but all lichen include at least one fungal partner (the mycobiont) which they usually resemble morphologically, and at least one cyanobacterial or algal photosynthetic partner (the photobiont). This partnership…
