Plant Biologists- I could use a little help. I have a manuscript I'm handling about graft transmissibility of miRNA to control a pathogen. Hard to find reviewers, and those I found have not delivered. I'm sad for the authors. If you can review fast, send a note. @aspbofficial.bsky.social

When a @springernature.com asks me for a review, it's turned around within days/weeks. When I submit a paper, it sits without going to reviewers since May 26. Communication sucks. I don't need another paper, my students do. When do I just withdraw? I'll never review for them again. Join me.

It is not "industry shills" it is people that understand utility of a chemistry and how to mitigate its risks

You realize that correlations can be great places to start, but really prove nothing at this point. Like any scientist, I continue to examine ALL new evidence, and it does not support your bias, that is satisfied by a map and a newspaper story.
