Scientific publications represent years of work. It’d be nice if somebody read them.
That’s the problem Allister Crow faced as his postdoctoral work was published in early November.
Crow, a structural biologist at the University of Cambridge, UK, was part of a team, led by Vassilis Koronakis, that solved the structure of a bacterial protein called MacB, a pump protein that is involved in antibiotic resistance and toxin secretion. The paper went online November 6 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. But how to get people — and especially those outside his immediate field — to notice?
