ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Peer review is not (only) a publication game or lottery. It is also about academic exchange of ideas. As authors, we want to know who read our ideas. As EiC and AE we take difficult decisions and piss off many authors, but we try to be polite, provide reasons, and put our faces under our decisions.

Fabrizio Bernardi @fabriberna.bsky.social · 21d

In many journals associate editors play an important role in the review process but their names don’t appear in communications with authors. At Europ Soc Rev, when we reject a paper the letter is signed by both EiC and AE. In others only the EiC signs. Having the AE in the letter adds transparency

If you are left-wing, why don’t you enroll your children in a public school?"

A very insightful article by #JahelQueralt in El País (in Spanish), which raises a somehow related question:

If you are left-wing, why teach at a private university?

elpais.com/opinion/2025...

Si eres de izquierdas, ¿por qué no vas a la escuela pública?

En educación, a diferencia de la sanidad, la ventaja de unos por poder acceder a una educación privada se traduce directamente en la desventaja de otros
