A team mascot. A joke that made it into a manuscript… What’s your ocean confession? champ.ly/04ry4Ewl
A research team I'm part of once had a pet rabbit as its mascot. For the first manuscript I lead-authored with this team, I copied renowned immunologist, Polly Matzinger, & added the rabbit as a co-author for a joke. The joke stuck through the revision process & in a burst of misplaced bravado I wound up submitting the manuscript with the rabbits name on there...I can't say anything...in case our paper gets retracted

Even people who care about the ocean don’t get it right all the time. Sometimes we know perfectly well what we should do, but habit, convenience, or simple laziness gets the better of us. This week’s anonymous confession is one of those moments.
Text reads: I sometimes throw away plastic bags along with biodegradable garbage, out of laziness to separate them from food waste.
