Follow this interesting and needed discussion about peer review. My take, let’s each of us in our own roles keep all the good things but also start eliminating all the negative aspects and bad practices related to peer review, which are many!
I wrote some thoughts about why peer review matters
It shapes scientific standards, maintains field coherence & trains new researchers
Yes, it needs improvement—but it's the glue that holds scientific progress together

We're continually surprised by which scientific investigations lead to practical benefits. This is the story about how investigating how electric fields affect bacterial growth led to the development of the stalwart chemotherapy drug cisplatin 🧪
'Barnett Rosenberg wasnt trying to cure cancer. He wasnt working on cancer. He wasnt working on any disease-related problem. He wasnt even working with human cells. All he was trying to do was to test a hypothesis about what would happen when dividing bacteria were placed in a strong electric field'
