A small note, before we get started: This used to be “SciJournr,” but after a year of inactivity I wanted to start the newsletter again, this time at Buttondown. Buttondown has decided to charge for sending emails — less than ideal for a newsletter that prides itself on being free. So, I’ve reclaimed my Substack again! However, if you forgot you were subscribed to this newsletter, or you want out, just skip on past to the unsubscribe button at the bottom of this newsletter.
