Publishing in scientific journals is an important part of PRBO science. It subjects our work to rigorous peer review, communicates our findings to a broad audience of professionals and practitioners, and ensures that our scientists are fully engaged in the latest research. The publication briefs listed below summarize the findings and applications of some of our most recent work.
