Upload or link to any relevant files, including the manuscript and additional background information. We will keep all unpublished materials confidential. Please note there is a 1MB limit per file. If your files exceed this limit, you can upload them to Dropbox and include a link to the folder in one of the fields below.

In a few sentences (less than 200 words), describe the significance of the work in lay terms. Why would someone outside your field be excited about this project? What are the bigger picture implications? Try to avoid technical terms; use phrasing your grandma would understand.

Upload at least one image to accompany the story. In order to avoid issues related to copyrights, unpublished images are best. Please note there is a 1MB limit per file. If your files exceed this limit, you can upload them to Dropbox and include a link to the folder in one of the fields below.

Please recommend at least one person who might serve as an “outside expert” to comment on the study. This individual should be a specialist in your field, but not an author on your paper.
