12 Days of (KI) Christmas with BioRender
It came to my surprise recently that several colleagues of mine did not know about a tool that I have come to take for granted. BioRender, an online platform filled with scientific figures and ready-to-edit templates, is a user-friendly alternative to graphics programs for those who want to get their message across clearly but without much hassle.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with BioRender, here is a quick introduction to their figures and templates…in the spirit of Christmas!
(For the classical “12 Days of Christmas” song lyrics, look here.)
