This has happened multiple times & but I'll never understand a journal that thinks you are expert enough to rely on you to review & decide if a manuscript is suitable for their journal but simultaneously will not trust that the paper you just sent them to review is also suitable.

Our goal in science is to be objective rather than subjective, to rely on data we uncover rather than opinions & biases. But the decisions about what science gets funded? what gets all the attention & resources? who gets to do science? Those decisions? almost entirely subjective.

While there is by no means a perfect predictor for someone's future success in science, the three best indicators are: 1) Their past track record 2) Their past track record and 3) Their past track record.

New preprint from a super fun collaboration between the Zaritsky lab & our lab. This thread nicely explains our main finding.

When it comes to publishing, a young scientist can listen to science twitter that talks about the DORA declaration, preprints, & post publication peer review. Or they can listen to ERC consolidator grant reviewers who mostly rewarded people w/ multiple Nature & Cell family pubs.

My great grandmother was a Löwenstein, my grandmother was born close to Köln in Duisburg, so there is a distinct possibility the three names on the top left are distant relatives. Which is to say the descendants of these people live & walk among us. History is not so far removed
