Instead of giving grants to profs, let’s just give it all to the students and let the profs convince them to join their groups instead of the other way around….

No kidding. I’m old and cynical enough that I don’t really care if my review is ignored and the paper is accepted. But if the authors ignore all of my suggestions, I’m not sure what the editor expects me to say when they send it back to me for comment.

I don’t get why some editors presumably can triage all sorts or manuscripts at submission, but then once it’s past that and being reviewed we all have to be holding hands at the end or else they seem to be paralyzed by indecision.

Akron is also about 1 highway stop from Kent State, another pretty large public university. It’s a lot within a relatively small area.

We still have classes Monday and Tuesday. University is still open Wednesday. We do have a “fall break” long weekend in October.
