Yup, because the invitation emails are sent from Editorial Manager and not my work account, I don't see any OOO bounce backs.

Are they doing away with external peer review? Only scrutiny by the boards, shortlisting, and then interview?

Would you not just write it into a grant which covers the experiments, but doesn't ask for staff costs, stating that your employer will fund the fees and stipend of a PhD student who will deliver the work in the grant? It would be part of the institutional support spiel.

Ah it's only for some teaching slides I'm putting together looking at AMR driven adaption and it's impact on virulence. Loads of papers deleting the omps and looking at impact on MIC and virulence. Just wondering if it actually happens and the impact clinically.
