Open data, open methods, and reproducible and transparent research are increasingly endorsed by funders, publishers, institutions and learned societies. But what does making your research open, transparent and reproducible mean in practice? What are the advantages and the pitfalls? 

This edition of the Data Conversations will focus on preprints. We will hear from preLights, the preprint highlights service run by the biological community and supported by The Company of Biologists. 

Come and share your open science and data stories and hear others. Find the registration button at the bottom of this page.
