ATENÇÃO PARA A TRAGÉDIA SEM PRECEDENTES EM MANAUS: Explosão do consumo de OXIGÊNIO NOS HOSPITAIS POR CONTA DE DOENTES DA COVID fez com que a empresa que fornece o gás entrasse em “colapso”. NÃO TEM MAIS OXIGÊNIO.

When my husband leaves for emergency surgeries at night...I worry. I know that at any moment, the color of his skin can make him a #victim. I know some would easily mistake him for a thug or thief rather than a Harvard trained plastic surgeon. The killings must stop. #GeorgeFloyd

As an Editor in Chief, I totally agree. Almost impossible to get peers to review. A total shift in the past few years. Help each other, please.

[Wendy Bickmore @wendy_bickmore]

I am getting really frustrated by the number of scientists declining to peer-review manuscripts at the moment. Please step up and help us academic editors out. We don't have time either, especially to chase after 10s of names to get reviewers. Support the system.
