A Peeriodical is a website that facilitate discussions of any published journal article that has a DOI. We have set up a 3DbioNet Peeriodical as a platform for scientists with interest in 3D biology field to review and discuss recent or older publications. We are facilitating this journal club because we believe that open discussion of science is essential, especially in an interdisciplinary field like ours. We hope this space for scientific discussion will benefit all the 3DbioNet network members in their current and future research, to improve the robustness of research outputs, identify problems, and share new ideas/protocols to improve our working practices.
