Focussing on the past, the present and the future

Posted by FocalPlane, on 3 May 2023

In Issue 8 of Journal of Cell Science, FocalPlane Community Manager Helen Zenner and Journal of Cell Science Executive Editor Seema Grewal share their Editorial reviewing the growth of FocalPlane since our launch in 2020.

We reflect on the progress that FocalPlane has made over the last three years and look forward to what is to come in 2023 and beyond. One project that we are particularly excited about is our correspondents scheme, a joint project with our sister site, the Node. We’ll be catching up with the FocalPlane correspondents, Mariana De Niz, Marta Forcella and Mai Rahmoon over the coming weeks, so watch this space! You can also find out more about the Node correspondents (and the latest news from the Node) in the recent Editorial published in Development.

As we move ahead with FocalPlane, we would love to receive feedback from the microscopy community. If you have any ideas on how we can improve the site, new features, or even things that you don’t like, drop us an email at focalplane@biologists.com. Finally, please remember, FocalPlane is your site, once registered you are free to contribute – and we are here to help!
