My lab’s research is funded by a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation, and NSF has a Public Access Policy that requires publications that result from NSF-funded research be made openly accessible so the public can freely access research findings. It’s also important to me that other researchers and the public can access the exciting work done by Williams student researchers without barriers. Because the review process for papers can be lengthy, we also uploaded the paper to the preprint server BioRxiv, so it is freely available there too: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.10.598330v1
