An unusual request, I know. I wrote an opinion article on my experience as trans person in science upon invitation of a journal. Despite mostly good reviews, the article was rejected.

Spent the last few days in the lovely city of Groningen in the north of the Netherlands, the impetus being a #DevinTownsend concert. 60% of the population is students, and it was voted third happiest city in Europe last year! A delightful place, great for a short break. And the gig was great too 😄
