Dr. Frank asked to join Faculty of 1000
May 23, 2013

Dr. Frank is now a member of the Faculty of 1000. F1000 identifies and recommends important articles in biology and medical research publications. Articles are selected by a peer-nominated global 'Faculty' of the world's leading scientists and clinicians who then rate them and explain their importance. From the numerical ratings awarded, F1000 has created a unique system for quantifying the importance of individual articles. Launched in 2002, F1000 was conceived as a collaboration of 1,000 international Faculty Members. The name stuck even...
