Yikes!
Peer review is critical for the integrity of our science, and outside experts are always needed to vet new grant proposals.
By moving this all in-house at NIH, we lose scientific independence & make it easy for the government to determine what research should be funded.

Louder for the people at the back...
Do NOT use ChatGPT for peer review.
1) That's not what #peerreview is... A robot is not your peer
2) Stop cheating you slimeball
3) You should never give ChatGPT proprietary or confidential information
Maarten van Smeden @maartenvsmeden.bsky.social
We thank the reviewer for putting our manscript in the public domain using ChatGPT for their peer review without our consent and against journal policy, and for wasting our time reacting on comments that have apparently been written nor checked by the reviewer

Single-blind #peerreview leads to more positive outcomes if you are:
- male
- White
- in the US or North America
- well-published or known in your field
- affiliated with a prestigious institution
Can we please make double-blind the gold standard now?

Impact of author characteristics on outcomes of single- versus double-blind peer review: a systematic review of comparative studies in scientific abstracts and publications - Scientometrics
The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the role of double-blind (DB) peer review on bias against authors when compared to single-blind (SB) peer review in scientific publications. Using…

And so it begins — NIH is planning to terminate active grants that no longer meet the agency's "priorities".
Grants that were already approved for funding through peer review.
The pursuit of knowledge should be apolitical, inclusive, and forward-thinking.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

The biggest publishers pulled profit margins in 2023 that rival Big Tech.
And they still charge you to publish and your library to read.
When are we going to start seriously thinking of alternatives to reform #PeerReview?

Where is the money going? In the case of for-profit publishers it's very clear: Your open access fees fund corporate profit margins. Profit margins for large academic publishers can far exceed those of household names like Amazon and Apple. chart source: bit.ly/4leULKi #scipub #academicsky

I wanted more time in the empty-table moments at 01:00 and 02:05 because they interrupt the repeated action. I wanted slightly less of the middle repetition once the two- and three-object rule became clear. That could make the shift to clothes at 02:10 stronger.

The project depends on 01:00–01:05, when the person leaves the objects and disappears. It is the first time the body stops performing the rule, but the objects remain. That absence made me notice the person, not only the procedure.

The calm narration makes the repeated movements look controlled, while the sudden closing sounds interrupt that calm. The images also make the voice feel less neutral, because the physical task keeps growing even though the tone barely changes.

I think this project is exploring how the same small action changes as the number and type of objects increase. The gesture stays simple, but it begins to feel less neutral when the task becomes larger and more personal.

Things can be used for different purposes beyond their orginal purpose

Language, or understanding, follow the instinct; interpretation comes after experience.
2:27 - 2:50
Things, or people, are waiting for someone who needs them.

I glimpse the third voice at 02:28. The images say that the tasks have been completed, while the echoed narration says that danger is still present. What emerges between them is not simple success, but a body moving forward before the voice feels safe.

I wanted slightly less of the similar hesitation from 00:50–02:28, or one short silence inside that section. The repeated indecision is already clear, so removing one beat might make the remaining actions feel more deliberate.

The project depends on the shift at 02:28. The actions finally change from avoiding to doing, but the voice does not relax with them. This moment breaks the earlier cycle without giving the viewer a complete emotional resolution.

The narration makes the images feel less ordinary. The dog, car, and tree begin to look like possible dangers. The images also make the narration feel less like one emergency and more like fear continuing through everyday actions.

At 00:00, avoiding the dog makes a simple encounter feel like escape. At 00:50, opening and closing the car door turns getting in into a decision under pressure. At 01:41, pacing near the tree extends that hesitation into the whole body.

Guest Post - Do we need (r)evolution in peer review? - The Scholarly Kitchen
Whether peer review needs revolution or evolution may be the wrong question. The more pressing one is whether the academic community is prepared to let scientific ideas be published, contested, and refined in public, rather than behind closed doors.

I find myself wanting to see more about the video. Possibly more hand movements just to really convey emotion, or just moments of stillness, maybe as if one's reflecting. I wanted less volume around 2:37, where one voice was louder than the background voices which made it hard to hear.
