preprints for biology! let's cut down the lag between findings and communicationhttp://biorxiv.org/about-biorxiv

given that it takes us about a year between first submission and our work appearing in print for other scientists to read, a preprint server makes a lot of sense. the nature journals are even on board. cell press is not. perhaps time to apply some pressure. if you know an editor, send them an email saying you want to submit a preprint to the server! we are supposed to be living in the age of information after all
