Got a hot manuscript or a burning question for a GENETICS or G3 editor? Just want to talk about scholarly publishing in general? Here’s how you can track down an editor at The Allied Genetics Conference this week:
Watch out for ribbons
GENETICS and G3 Editors will be wearing silver “Editor” ribbons on their name tags so you can spot them at a distance.
Go to a “Meet the Editors-in-Chief” session
GENETICS Editor-in-Chief Mark Johnston and G3 Editor-in-Chief Brenda Andrews will be available at the GSA Central Theatre in the exhibit hall at the following times:
Wednesday, 7/13/2016, 10:00-10:30PM (Mark Johnston only at this time)

Join the conversation at the Editors’ Panel Discussion and Roundtable
This is an excellent opportunity for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and undergraduate students to have informal conversations with journal editors about the peer-review and scientific publishing process in general. There will be brief presentations by GENETICS Editor-in-Chief Mark Johnston, G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics Editor-in-Chief Brenda J. Andrews, and GSA Journals Executive Editor Tracey DePellegrin. This will be followed by roundtable discussions with rotating editors from a variety of journals, so that each participant gets discussion time with multiple editors.
