1. These are my own personal 10 commandments of peer review: I the reviewer WILL write my review in a helpful, kind, & considerate voice. I will NOT sound angry, be snarky, make derogatory comments, be rude, be dismissive, or be condescending.

Check out this great thread! Excellent resource for young scientists 😊
I finally went through all my bookmarked tweets to compile a list of resources I want my grad students to have and wanted to (1) thank everyone who posted these resources, and (2) pay it forward and share the compiled list with all of you!
