NEOBIOTA is now over 🥹. We were lucky to have our work on the gender gap in invasion science to be the last presentation with people of both sessions present. This has been the result of @scanavan.bsky.social leadership, a great presentation by @mdechoum.bsky.social & amazing working group 💜

I see where ICE is snatching up foreign Black professors at Maryland colleges and universities. Yall better make sure your papers are straight because ICE is coming for Black immigrants and they know nobody will be out here protesting for them.

Absolutely outrageous...we received a rejection with this reason. I'm a big girl and can handle rejections, but this shit is out of control. Y'all need to start saying yes to reviewer requests. The science is suffering.
Thank you for submitting your work to Global Change Biology. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider it further for publication.
 
Despite substantial efforts from our editorial team to find referees, we were unable to secure any reviews. In our experience, this often occurs when a manuscript is perceived as lacking the degree of novelty or breadth of topic required for our readership. Our policy of declining papers in this situation is in place to ensure your work is not delayed further and can be submitted elsewhere without more loss of time. Please be assured that this is not a reflection on the quality or validity of your research, but rather a result of our current editorial constraints and the high volume of submissions we receive.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
