This week PLOS Genetics says a fond farewell to Editors-in-Chief Gregory S. Barsh and Gregory P. Copenhaver. As we reflect on their leadership, we are profoundly grateful for their role in shaping the journal into the reputable and remarkable platform it is today. https://plos.io/3J3YrNw
About us
PLOS is a nonprofit, Open Access publisher empowering researchers to accelerate progress in science and medicine by leading a transformation in research communication. We’ve been breaking boundaries since 2001. We propelled the movement for OA alternatives to subscription journals. We established the first multi-disciplinary publication inclusive of all research regardless of novelty or impact. And we demonstrated the importance of open data availability. Our work isn’t done. Join us as we continue to advance Open Science for researchers and readers.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2023 #EinsteinFoundationAward for Promoting Quality in Research! Catch highlights from the award ceremony below or learn more about the finalists in our blog series exploring this year's nominated projects: https://plos.io/3vcqarZ
Yesterday, the Einstein Foundation Berlin celebrated science and research happening in Berlin and worldwide and presented the winners of the 2023 #EinsteinFoundationAward with their trophies. The festive event took place at the Bode-Museum Berlin with QUEST Center at Berlin Institute of Health in der Charité and supported by Berlin University Alliance, Max-Planck-Förderstiftung, PLOS, Nature Portfolio and Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz. A heartfelt thank you to our funders Damp Stiftung and Senatsverwaltung für Wissenschaft, Gesundheit, Pflege und Gleichstellung! 🗨 Berlin's Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (Senatskanzlei Berlin) congratulated the awardees and thanked EFA funder Walter Wübben: "Berlin is recognized worldwide as an outstanding science hub, not least thanks to the Einstein Foundation. The award is our most important recognition for pioneering researchers." 🗨 Ina Czyborra, Senator for Higher Education and Research (Senatsverwaltung für Wissenschaft, Gesundheit, Pflege und Gleichstellung): "The impact of the challenges associated with the question of research quality [...] on the daily work of researchers [...] and the public's trust in research cannot be taken seriously enough". 🗨 "Tonight is a great opportunity to honor those who are committed to ensuring that science meets the highest standards of trust and responsibility. And it encourages other scientists to also strive for open, reliable, and useful research", said Award Secretary Ulrich Dirnagl, Founding Director of the QUEST Center at Berlin Institute of Health in der Charité. 🗨 "The Einstein Foundation is performing an invaluable service to all of science by elevating recognition for researchers and organizations who epitomize the qualities of excellence and integrity in science for the public good", said Jury President Marcia McNutt, President of the National Academy of Sciences. 🏆 Anne Gärtner, psychologist at TU Dresden, won the 2023 Early Career Award for the Responsible Research Assessment Initiative. She seeks to develop novel criteria to assess research output based on quality rather than quantity. 🏆 Edward Miguel and Carson Christiano accepted the Institutional Award on behalf of our winner Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences at Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA): "We're thrilled that BITSS was recognized for its contributions to #openscience and honored to be featured among such esteemed awardees." 🏆 Yves Moreau was honored with the Individual Award. When it comes to human DNA research, he is an advocate for ethical standards. By drawing attention to potential abuses, he hopes to foster a cultural change in science and education. Our warmest congratulations to all the winners and a huge thank you to our jury, our partners and friends, our funders, our fellows, and to everyone who joined us online and in person! For Research. For Berlin. Copyright photos: Einstein Foundation Berlin/Sebastian Semmer
