I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

Precisely

Today was hella productive and fairly gratifying. Too bad it was all service work. #AcademicTwitter

What is a kitchen if not a chemistry lab for your home?

Never work after hours for someone who isn't willing to work after hours for you. #AcademicTwitter

If an undergrad wants to work in your lab, what do you ask from them? Statement of purpose? Resume? None of the above? Do you ask for other info (e.g., first-gen student)? Thus far, I've been pretty laid back, but I wonder if asking for more might be better.

This short clip is a masterclass from Mike Krzyzewski: "The very first thing is that in order to get better you change limits. And when you change limits, you're gonna look bad and you're gonna fail." Life Hack: Embrace the embarrassment of being a beginner. The only way to

A little too close to home, Bee.

Maybe even read some papers before you were born (gasp!).

So, what would be on your list? What promises do you want to make to yourself? Use John Wooden's list as a spark, but create your own. Write them out and look at them at the start of every day. Enjoy this? Share the thread and follow me Sahil Bloom for more in future!

Starting today, thanks to U.S. National Science Foundation, MSU is now recycling nearly all of the helium in its #NMR facility. It's been a crazy week, but Bryan from Bluefors got us up and running. Magnetic Resonance News

Is there any reason why a Bruker QNP accessory couldn't be used to collect phase-sensitive gradient experiments (e.g. a 19F{1H} HOESY on a 1H/BBF probe)? "hoesyfhqfqnrv" is okay, I'd like to clean up artifacts, and that program is limited to QF mode. Magnetic Resonance News #NMR

With our new 800 #NMR and NMR facility manager, this would be perfect for someone with interests in biophysical NMR. Reach out if you have questions! Magnetic Resonance News

Wow. Five bots followed me today (all now blocked). That's a new record.

Congratulations Amanda Patrick (@patricklabms.bsky.social) ! Great achievement!
