Cover positions (covering for an editor on leave) are a great way to get started in scientific editing. I know several people who thrived at journals from this starting point.

Many journals and funders have very strict guidelines forbidding the use of LLM in peer review. This is something @davalamo.bsky.social discuss often with students and postdocs: it is a blatant mishandling of privileged information (aka someone else's manuscript)
For some of our Fellowsherpa workshops, @davalamo.bsky.social & I are now running online versions, like this upcoming three-day Narrative CV webinar & workshop for Academia Sinica & the EMBO Global Activities program.

Only two types of evidence for them: evidence in their favor o evidence manipulated by big-pharma.
No amount of information will change the mind of someone who thinks there is a conspiracy involving uber-rich people and pharma companies to reduce human population through vaccines
Agree, but I would add: get someone WHO KNOWS YOU WELL to write a great recommendation letter.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

In line with 2, I would add 5: one can plan to make history (really disruptive/paradigm shifting discoveries are unpredictable)
Well, if it’s only 1400 papers…
It still boggles my mind that only 66 years separate these photos.
