Publish, Review, Curate (PRC) is currently gaining traction as a path forward in open science. However, this has seemingly become a goal which risks damaging stand alone preprinting, replicating many of the biggest issues with the current system and limiting discourse and alternative experiments. Join our walk as we discuss PRC and outline potential problems with this effort. We also provide a short update on Rippling Ideas.

This week we discuss ant head shapes and evolution with Cristian L. Klunk, a Post-doc in Germany.Read the full preprint -> https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.03.19.643247v1This episode was produced by Sonia Gomes Pereira and edited by Sonia Gomes Pereira.

Science is under attack, particularly in the USA where the current Trump administration has been systematically destroying scientific and academic institutions, attacking science and scientists, spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories and hijacking open science principles to justify these actions. We spoke with Philip Cohen to discuss the ongoing situation.

You may have come across the remarkably ill-informed blog post arguing the preprints are fueling the anti-science agenda on the Scholarly Kitchen. Given that this podcast advocates for preprints in the life sciences, we felt compelled to issue a direct response to the blog post.
