I'm reviewing this paper while on holiday at the beach, which normally puts me in a positive mood... Several experiments are so fundamentally flawed that they wiped out all the good vibes usually provided by a dip in the Mediterranean Sea.

I finally dug through this one by @seanpadilla.bsky.social. Only 21 years too late... 😆
I really love Sean's lyricism. He makes everything (even uncomfortable topics) feel so relatable and illustrative.
And the music itself is fun and catchy!

Highly, highly recommended!

You want non-academic impacts? How about supporting the profit margin of the commercial academic publishers like Springer-Nature, Elsevier and friends?

That's arguably the biggest non-academic impact we all have. Make sure to add to your report.
