How do preprints fit into the media reporting of research?

I'm looking forward to speaking about preprint reviews and the media as part of the #PreprintsInThePublicEye event hosted by @ASAPbio_ Find out more and register here ▾ https://t.co/8ejKpmXcBI

[Chase W. Nelson 倪誠志 @chasewnelson]

Our paper on ORF3d, a new gene in #SARSCoV2 that is not present in SARS-CoV, is out today in @eLife! We believe ORF3d is important: for a virus with only ~15 genes, one extra could make a big difference, potentially explaining its unique biology.
