To go far, go together. @force11.bsky.social #Force2026 lived up to its theme. The conversations around open infrastructure, connected reading, and the future of communication were some of the best we've been part of. Here's what stood out to us 👉 curvenote.com/blog/force11-2026

The future of interactive preprints and papers were on display at the #FORCE2026 conference and here I discuss what was presented and what the future of "living figures" might hold. As well as raving about the @openrxiv.bsky.social labs and @curvenote.com demos scedmunds.substack.com/p/preprints-...

The Story behind the Science: Preprints of pandemic potential—how bioRxiv and medRxiv brought preprints to the life sciences | mBio

When we launched medRxiv in mid-2019, we never could have anticipated that just a few months later, New York would be at the epicenter of a rapidly escalating global pandemic, and we would be handling hundreds of papers about a previously unknown virus every week. Articles about bioRxiv and medRxiv preprints would appear on the New York Times front page, and our team worked every waking hour, seven days a week, making rapid decisions about sometimes controversial work and disseminating results of COVID research to millions of readers around the globe. Along the way, we were called dangerous and irresponsible by some, wimps and censors by others, but most in the biomedical community valued the service, and even Anthony Fauci and the head of the WHO called attention to the importance of preprints.

In our first year as an independent nonprofit, we grew leadership & collaborations & saw recognition for preprints. There were also the most new @biorxiv-medrxiv.bsky.social preprints in a year yet! 🎉 Our year in review: openrxiv.org/2025-year-in... Thank you for continuing to build together. 💚
