Thanks @commsbio.nature.com editors for naming me as their Reviewer of the Month - nice to be featured on their homepage! @natureportfolio.nature.com and others need more initiatives like this to highlight the value of peer review in protecting scientific integrity.

Also found my favourite childhood science book. Don't know why but the cartoon of the kid trying to open the sweet jar with hot water is the illustration I always remember 😄

I kinda like the AI podcast for #SpotifyWrapped2024 - hope it gets better with time. Might try out #GoogleNotebookLM with a publication later, which has been suggested as a use case for this tool 👀🤓

Women shouldn't be made to feel bad about a medical procedure that is often their safest option. Speaking as someone who was a C-section baby.

World Prematurity Day is 17th Nov every year. I started research in preterm birth back in 2011. 13 years later, no new therapies, no new diagnostics, no new answers to provide to those at risk. A change of direction in research and clinical practice is needed.

I'm probably more appreciated for this kinda thing than my ability to interpret complex data... and that's what drains me the most 💔
