This is the way.
My reviewing style has changed over time. Rather than litigate every little thing, and pushing my own ideas, I focus only on 2 things:
(1) Are the claims interesting/important?

Now, this is true dedication. While they are not on Bluesky (I think) they are phantastic, and I encourage everyone to give them a try. Great and unusual spices (Euphrates Mint or Rainforest Cardamom, anyone?) and from local farmers working sustainable deserving support.

These drugs were only developed because of NIH funding.
Which is now imploding. Drugs like these will not be developed anymore in the US.

@bwjones.bsky.social remember I mentioned the sunset. Today was spectacular.
And it is always great to meet your heroes. With Bryan (Bluesky and science hero) it was a pleasure, not only because he is a genuinely great guy and good human.
