I don’t know. I love this Joseph Fasano poem and have it pinned on my office door but I don’t know what to actually do about any of this.

Blimey! Prof Madhusudhan’s response to my friendly discussion of the many unknowns was that I’m a ‘commentator not a practitioner’.

No. Never.

I review 20+ of papers a year—it's my job as a scientist. The public pays my salary and trust me to use my time wisely to advance science. Through peer review, I do exactly that. I spend two or three weeks a year reviewing, but I’ve never wasted a day reviewing a paper, and never will.
