Wild rice is a perennial, creeping plant. The secret to its perennial growth habit lies in a developmental reversal directed by small RNAs. This image illustrates how combining perennial genes with prostrate growth genes allows cultivated rice to mimic wild rice. Learn more: scim.ag/40GOjDb

Career effects of preprints get mixed reviews from biomedical researchers
Junior researchers are more likely to embrace preprints; grant reviewers and hiring committees express doubts
