The eLife-sponsored presentation series was first announced in October 2013 to highlight the work of scientists who have yet to become fully established in their respective fields. Twice a year, eLife editors select a small number of the papers published in the journal that will – they feel – prove to be significant in various areas of the life and biomedical sciences. The pre-tenure authors on these papers are then given the opportunity to present at a scientific meeting of one of eLife’s founding organisations – the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society and the Wellcome Trust.
A total of 13 papers have been selected in the first three rounds of the series. The list below contains links to these papers, to previous blog posts about the series, and to two Google Hangouts on Air with some of the authors.
