Breakfast club with Laura Zahn - Editor-in-Chief of Cell Genomics

Is there a better way to start your morning than with a free breakfast?
SBP-SN is thrilled to invite you to the Breakfast Club Series!

Our next Breakfast Club is scheduled for November 17 from 9:30am to 10:30am.
This Breakfast Club will host Dr. Laura Zahn!

Laura Zahn, PhD, earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Smith College, followed by a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona. Laura Zahn serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Cell Genomics and a consulting editor at Cell. An evolutionary geneticist by training, her own research was multidisciplinary and centered on how selection and evolution shape reproduction and development. Early in her career she worked on the Human Genome Project at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and later completed postdoctoral research on the Floral Genome Project at Pennsylvania State University. In 2006 she joined the editorial staff of Science, where she spent roughly 15 years as an editor handling manuscripts in evolution, genetics, and genomics. In 2022 she moved to Cell Press to lead Cell Genomics, a relatively new open-access journal, as its Editor-in-Chief. Across nearly two decades in scientific publishing, she has developed deep insight into what distinguishes high-impact work and how the peer review and editorial process really operates behind the scenes.
We will have a casual conversation with Dr. Zahn about her journey and of course enjoy free breakfast!

Come and learn all about scientific publishing, what happens after you hit “submit,” how editors evaluate manuscripts, and what it takes to move from the bench to the editor’s desk!
