- Just got a paper rejected from Nature Scientific Reports the other day. Perhaps the problem was that we wrote it ourselves!
- "Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

- Reposted by Dr. Aisling O'DonnellWhen using Microsoft Word or Google Docs, don't just make text bigger and bolder to make it a heading. That will work for sighted users, but screen reader users will miss that and just hear it as normal paragraph text. Use actual heading styles, like level 1 through 6.

The financial meltdown was caused through a failure to regulate the banks by FG & FF. She really must think the public is as ignorant as herself! #Aras25

- Relatable 🤣 No matter what plants people tell me are hard to kill, I've managed to exceed those expectations every time.
- I couldn't agree more. It does bother me that a PhD student withdrawing would be considered a bad sign on my supervisory record when in fact, it may have been a very wise and insightful decision on the student's part, supported totally by their supervisor.
