Quote from Pable Ranea-Robles, ASAPbio Metabolism Crowd PREreview Club lead: “In the University of Granada, we use the Club as a platform for teaching peer review and for staying up-to-date with the literature. It is also a great opportunity to mix and merge basic and translational scientists. The students are really engaged, suggesting interesting preprints for all of us to vote on as a group.” Arrow pointing to the right, indicating to swipe to the next page.
