Lars Jeuken @larsjeuken.bsky.social · 21/06/2025TOUGH LESSON: Today I learned how the Dutch Scientific Funding agency keeps their grant success rate at an acceptable level. After a number of submissions, without advanced warning, they close up shop for the rest of the year. A lot of work went into this proposal I cannot submit.media.tenor.coma pixelated image of a man with glasses and a black turtleneckALT: a pixelated image of a man with glasses and a black turtleneck 210

Lars Jeuken @larsjeuken.bsky.social · 03/04/2025What is the best way (and QUICKEST) to write a review report for a submission that reads like a data-dump with many statements that are neither supported by data overload nor by literature. Typically, these papers lack a research strategy and I wonder if the senior author actual read the submission. 100

Lars Jeuken @larsjeuken.bsky.social · 21/03/2025HMMM. I found two papers with exactly the same data (exactly the same figures, not even replotted), the same authors, only 9 years apart. doi.org/10.1007/BF02... and doi.org/10.1007/s007....
