Sounds really interesting…a good companion piece to “It couldn’t happen here”, from the gist of it. Thanks for the recommendation!

It’s equally not yet there for the work I do nowadays when we’re handling lots of confidential patient data. But efficiency gains are always to be welcomed, and I find the principle of nontoxic “peer” review appealing. Been on the receiving end of nastiness too many times already. 😒

Yeah, this is the flip side of the coin, isn’t it? And we have to be alert to unintended negative consequences from arising from the best intentions. At the same time, this is the way things are heading and it feels more proactive to lean into it than try and batten down the hatches.

Amazing, thank you!

Amazing, thanks so much - that’s really helpful context! 😊

What an amazing initiative! Would this be compatible with confidential (patient) data from industry-funded medical research? Or is it intended exclusively for academic research?

Congrats Izzy! 🥳👏

Not just that. It’s good and appropriate that success shifts one’s baseline expectations, but that shouldn’t come at the cost of an anchor point. YOU HAD A BOOK PUBLISHED!!! 🥳🎉👏 That’s amazing (and I’m still jealous 😅)
