Effective, efficient, and fair peer reviewing Ben Bond-Lamberty Based on a presentation at the AGU Early Career Scientist Workshop, 2019 1

Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

Been saying this for decades, and _actually meant it_. There is so much sanity checking done in a package that it absolutely certainly unquestionably is the correct container to assemble #Rstats code in.
I wish I had made my own #rstats package sooner. It's absurd how effective a guardrail it is against user... code creativity... borking things up
