About Iris
Welcome to Iris, the science communication portal designed by life scientists, for life scientists. We aim to become the central place for you to disseminate results, share ideas, create communities and catalyze learning and professional growth. Our small team of dedicated professionals strives for nothing less than to redefine professional social media for the next century. Or at least the next decade or two.
Join us on this exciting journey and contribute to science beyond publications!
The co-developers of Iris are
A. Chapin Rodriguez, PhD
Chapin began his career conducting research at the interface of cell and molecular biology, structural biology and biochemistry. He completed his BSc at Duke University (US) as an Angier B.
