I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.

Leonardo Alexandre Peyré-Tartaruga

I grew up in the south Brazil, alternating times between Montevideo (Uruguay) and Porto Alegre (Brazil). Crossing the Pampas several times made me deeply interested in nature and biology. After, I joined my passion for sports and movement to the area of biology. Last year, after 17 years as Assistent and Associate Professor in the UFRGS (Brazil), I moved to Pavia, and currently I am Professor UniPV, Italy. I am interested in minima, maxima and others optima in terrestrial locomotion & Sports Sciences. The pathological gait is a very interesting area to apply basic concepts of human locomotion. I am very proud to study and principally, to change life in the Parkinson projects. Also, and most important, the study on mechanical determinants of locomotion performance and economy is my passion.

Worradorn Phairuang

Dr. Worradorn Phairuang is a Lecturer at Chiang Mai University, Thailand. His main research focuses on the chemical and physical characteristics of airborne nanoparticles. His interests cover all the natural and anthropogenic sources, particularly biomass burning including forest fire and agricultural residue burning. He is very interested in emission inventory from biomass burning in Thailand and Asian countries.

Brett E Pickett

Dr. Brett Pickett is an Assistant Professor in the Microbiology and Molecular Biology Department at Brigham Young University. He completed his B.S degree in Microbiology from BYU in 2005, his Ph.D. training in Microbiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and his postdoctoral training in Pathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. He then obtained additional experience in industry, and at the J. Craig Venter Institute, where he led investigative studies in viral comparative genomics and the human transcriptional response during viral infection. His research develops data mining methods, applies machine learning techniques, and use advanced statistical workflows to better understand how human cells respond during infection.

Roberta Pierattelli

Roberta Pierattelli graduated in Chemistry at the University of Florence and received a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1995. After a postdoctoral year at the University of Southampton, she was appointed at the University of Florence. Since 2017 she is Full Professor of Chemistry. Her research interests are mainly related to applications of NMR spectroscopy to the study of the structure and function of proteins and their interactions.

Stephanie E Pierce

Assistant Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University.

Stephanie E. Pierce is a trained paleontologist, anatomist, functional morphologist and evolutionary biomechanist. She completed a BSc degree in paleontology at the University of Alberta, Canada, which included an honors thesis on the anatomy and evolution of hadrosaurian dinosaurs. Directly following this, Stephanie pursued a MSc degree by research in Systematics and Evolution at the University of Alberta studying the anatomy and evolutionary relationships of extinct marine lizards. Her love of vertebrate evolution brought her to the University of Bristol, UK where she embarked on a PhD degree which focused on assessing the interplay between skull shape variation and biomechanical performance in extant and extinct crocodiles. Since finishing her studies, Stephanie has focused her main efforts on examining and reconstructing the 3D anatomy and locomotion potential of early tetrapods (Devonian and Carboniferous) to test hypotheses of limbed movement across the water-land transition.
