My two most common editorial suggestions for manuscripts I handle are: (i) improve writing style by avoiding exaggerated terms, and (ii) ensure machine learning studies include a repository for reproducibility and reuse of models and data #EditorLife #ChemSky

I've taken a tiny step against facism by making a backup of the Department of Energy (NREL, specifically) Laboratory Analytical Procedure documents that I use periodically at work. I can't promise to track document updates or anything, but at least if these are deleted we'll have something. #ChemSky
