Last week I was called a reviewer 2 just because I was requesting researchers to use the correct ictv names for their viruses in a manuscript…. Not because it lacked critical data to support their results

Had a great time presenting at #Microbio25, diving into the evolution of sarbecoviruses! These viruses keep us on our toes. Exciting discussions and great science all around! #Virology #Sarbecovirus

Two journals tried paying peer reviewers and found increased acceptance, earlier reports, and no change in quality.

WHAT A SURPRISE!

Not excited to open my email after 3 weeks holiday in Brazil 🇧🇷
