To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

FYI, coming back from 3 business days away from work to FOUR emails about the same review request is excessive and not likely to make me want to provide free labor for your journal.

I'm seriously considering starting a journal called "Descriptive Epidemiology" that just publishes well-done descriptive papers since existing biomedical journals don't seem to value those AT ALL. Do better, existing journals!

Looks like #SER2022 is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
Today, my mom tried to use my European washer/dryer machine and 1) washed her clothes w/o soap, 2) dried her unwashed clothes, 3) dried her clothes w/ soap, 4) successfully washed her clothes w/ soap, 5) re-washed her clothes w/o soap before finally 6) drying her clothes.

I'm learning the hard way that being a postdoc in London is much more financially straining than being a PhD student in North Carolina.

If I put a QR code on a fabric poster, will it work? Surely someone has tried this before...?
Today in 💩 reviewer comments: "please remove half of your results, as I don't like that someone could interpret them in a potentially harmful way if that person did not read your discussion and interpretation of those results."

I think it's a complete scam that universities advertise professor positions as "extremely competitive salary" simultaneously with "this position requires the applicant to have external research funding". What you're offering for salary is $0.
