If you missed the talk due to the recent daylight savings time switch, worry not! Sacek’s wonderful talk is now on Youtube. We are happy to help you reach him if you have questions.
Victor Sacek's talk on Andean geodynamics and the landscape of the Amazon is on Youtube! Apologies for the daylight savings time mixup.

Maybe one day I’ll get reviews from the paper I submitted in late December? 🫣

Agree with this 100%. Reviewers should be acknowledged.

Unfortunately some journals also ask not to thank reviewers(!!)

Happy to share the paper by my former MSc student from UFOP, Brazil. Congrats Caio!

Caio analyzed the underlying controls on the position and mobility of the transcontinental divide in South America.

Congrats to QC undegrad Adriana Zumba who also contributed!

Snow, foliation, conjugate fractures in Central Park… cool!

Let me test this super cool idea, it’ll just take 10 min (not!). It’s not like I have a week (with a weekend and a holiday in between) to submit final grades anyway. Ok ok, back to grading…

Very good point.

And it reminds me of something slightly macabre that a mentor once told me: papers won’t come to visit you when you’re on your death-bed…
A word of caution: it might feel like that grant/paper/review cannot possibly wait over the Christmas period, but you can't get time with friends and family back. You likely won't be like "really wish I'd submitted that" in 5 years time but you might regret not spending time with those you love.

Paper submitted. Again!
3rd time is a charm right?

So, I fell out of touch with preprints. What's the current consensus here? It may be my own biased perception, but it seems like the idea didn't stick? Or are we still happy to see preprints?

p.s.: first post here in the blue sky : )
it feels great to see a regular science/academic feed!
