I don't think it is OK to desk reject a paper with no comments or feedback at all. If you have time to read/skim the paper and make a judgement, then you have time to write a sentence explaining why you don't want it (and that stuff is invaluable for ECRs)

Great postdoc opening in an amazing project!

Applications now open for an international PhD program investigating child and adolescent health and wellbeing.

This provides funding for 4 students to do PhDs in Australia and Singapore, starting Jan 2026

Absurd thing number 2: One of the reviewers, who I frankly suspect wrote their initial review using AI, insisted that our paper (a narrative review) required a method section. I'm all for rigour in reviews, but I've never read a review paper with a method section!

This drawn-out and discouraging experience has shown me exactly what poor editorial practice feels like.

We withdrew a manuscript from review at a journal today. I think that is the first time I've done that, but the review process was hugely delayed and unhelpful.

Some exciting news to share: I’m joining Edge Hill University as a Lecturer in Psychology this September!
Excited (and a little nervous) for this next chapter in academia. I can’t wait to get started!

A little pre-print for your Monday morning #visionscience: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6.... This was a fun, if slightly wacky project... would love to hear any thoughts/critiques!! @riadsala.bsky.social

Fascinating study! Infants showed similar gaze patterns to AI- and non-AI-generated videos 👀🤖 — a smart use of AI to create controlled, naturalistic stimuli.

Here's a short thread about our paper in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social dlvr.it/TKxcFg ... 1/4

🚨 Big moment! After years of hard work - from designing the experiment to finalising the paper - it's finally out! Thrilled to share how well our model performs. Grateful for the journey and the results. 🙌📄💡
