8/ Science already takes time, I hope to help make it worth it.

Finally, terrified, we sent it to PNAS @pnas.org.
After one round of review, reports came back: supportive. Positive.
Accepted 🎉 🎉

7/ What I learned:
Publishing can be arbitrary.
Some reviewers make up their minds before seeing the evidence.
One reviewer can wield disproportionate power.
Rebuttals must be painfully clear.
Editors often fail to step in, even when the situation is obvious.
Don’t assume fairness in peer review
