Weekly round-up #271
Tell VALIDATE about your Publications
This week, VALIDATE member Mario Alberto Flores-Valdez emailed VALIDATE to share his latest published journal article. We thought we would remind members how we work to increase visibility of publications.
VALIDATE has created a dedicated Publications Page on its website, where members' publications will be prominently featured. Additionally, VALIDATE actively promotes these publications on Twitter and Linkedin and our Weekly Round-ups, Monthly Updates and quarterly Newsletter. This means that your publication will be delivered in to the feeds and inboxes of our growing community of world-leading vaccine researchers.
VALIDATE members are encouraged to email their latest publications or relevant papers to validate@ndm.ox.ac.uk.

Afterwards, participants will engage in interactive workshops with senior VALIDATE Investigators, receiving personalized feedback and advice for future presentations. Scheduled for 12 September 2023 at 15:00 BST, this showcase aims to foster networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among global researchers in the field of tuberculosis.

Back in 2019, recently departed novelist Cormac McCarthy shared tips on how to write a great science paper, recent research has showed that women in science face challenges at all ages, and Nature invited postdocs to participate in their Global Careers Survey. News-Medical reported on the lessons learned about trained immunity during the COVID pandemic (and how this relates to BCG), Nature suggested that people should approach grant writing as if it were a film script, and the BSI asked members to share their thoughts about Flow Cytometry Training.
