Yep.... so time consuming for editors to search and find and ask, i'm so challenging for the authors as well. And I know reviews are also so much work and a lot of time for the reviewers but we all need to do our part!

I don't know what the heck the blank white square is. Maybe that is AI's version of nobody doing reviews.

Can all my fellow scientists please review at least two times the number of papers you publish? It is so hard to get reviewers these days, and that really hurts young scientists especially!

What do you all think of somebody arguing back against Editorial decisions? And who do you see do it? (I've only ever had senior white men do that. Is it a pattern, or is that small sample size?)

40. The best idea in the world is worthless if people can't understand you. A mediocre idea* presented outstandingly will go over better than an outstanding idea presented mediocrely. (*grants, papers, seminars, talks, conversations etc etc)

I was visiting a friend in Southern California and her next-door neighbor had been to Hawaii and "informed" me that that is the only place on earth you can see the Milky Way. It was so Madagascar - the one star they could see from the Central Park zoo! I just nodded and smiled.

Just spent 5 hours grading a short essay exam in Canvas. I apparently missed that even when the answer shows as graded in canvas the grade isn't saved unless you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click update.

We already knew that the phylogenetic distance between an insect’s native and non-native hosts was a key predictor of impact on insects that specialize on conifers… doi.org/10.1002/ece3... …or specialize on hardwoods… doi.org/10.1007/s105... …but what about generalists?…
