David Green, PhD@ecologistgreen.bsky.social · last yr.Finally! @nature.com is making #PeerReview reports public. Transparency like this is a huge win for science, trust, & credibility. Now if only they'd adopt #doubleblind review and always disclose reviewer identities, they might be as transformative as @stacksjournal.bsky.social #SciPub 🧪
Conferences with your friends are some of the best bits of the job. The job is not easy, but how very lucky to have such strong and opinionated women as my peers to conspire and collaborate with
