"These days, we’re surrounded by men who hijack first and think later; who want to “move fast and break things”; who feel entitled to take what they want, when they want it, and expect to get away with it; who think they’re much, much smarter than they are"

As we remember the discover of the double helix, it is worthwhile to read nature‘s article on Rosalind Franklin www.nature.com/articles/d41...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

"Until a year ago, only 2–3% of submissions were ultimately rejected by moderators, says Steinn Sigurðsson, an astrophysicist at Penn State University in University Park who is arXiv’s scientific director. But in the last year, that number has gone up to 10%."
'The oldest and best-known preprint repository, arXiv, has announced that it will no longer accept review or position papers in computer science. The website will make exceptions only for papers that have been previously accepted by a peer-reviewed venue, such as a journal or conference.'
Preprint site arXiv is banning computer-science reviews: here’s why
The repository is taking steps to tackle a surge in low quality, AI-generated content.
