During these tough times I remind you of Rocky Balboa's wisdom: "It ain't about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

Gave my first editorial 'desk reject' today on the basis of post-hoc selection of data & the bias this creates in a dataset. Since Galton (1886), many scientists have devised many ingenious ways of biasing their samples. 👀👇 youtu.be/VN19B-3P6Cc?...
