Crick Lectures are delivered by leading internationally-renowned scientists from the Francis Crick Institute and elsewhere and cover the full spectrum of biomedical research. They aim to be relatively accessible to scientists in all biomedical disciplines, whilst also offering something for the specialist.

The talks are open to scientists from other institutes and universities from across London and beyond. You should have a minimum of graduate-level biological knowledge to attend and fully engage with these talks. Please pre-register if you would like to attend. Find out more.

This week's Crick lecture slot will be in the form of a panel discussion.

John Inglis, Executive Director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, joins Crick Associate Research Director James Briscoe, Magdalena Skipper, Editor in Chief at Nature, and Head of Crick Library Services Beth Montague-Hellen, for a discussion on open science and the publishing landscape.

How and where will your research be published in the future? Is our current publishing model broken, and what can be done to fix it? These and other important and controversial questions will be the subject of this unusual Crick lecture, which will be a Q&A session with expert internal and external speakers.
