IMO, as a person who reviews manuscript submissions and their authors' responses), can we dispense with the formal niceties in response comments? I don't need to be thanked for every comment I make. Its tedious. I am re-reviewing a 32 page submission. And the response document is 16 pages. 😠

In his previous career as a goalkeeper, failure felt clear. Thinking that his sport taught him how to handle failure during his PhD, Javier Nion Fieira found his experiences in elite sport were easier to analyse and process than those in the lab:

Yes. But not mentioned is the declining share of tenured and tenure track professors doing this work. The adjunctification in higher ed means there are fewer people who can be incentivized to do this work, because when you’re an adjunct no one cares if you can do research.
