Maybe go ahead and review it?.
Oh dear. I was just asked by a (quite respectable) scientific journal to review my own manuscript (that we submitted some weeks ago). I know finding reviewers is increasingly difficult, but this seems a bit desperate 😅. What is the funniest way to respond?.

The carefree, fun stage of experimenting with new #biomaterials. At the launch of Designs for a Cooler Planet, I found things made from industrial algae waste, roadside mowings, seaweed, wheatgrass roots, lignocellulose and even banknotes. #Frontiersfellowship @AaltoUniversity

I've begun my #FRONTIERSFellowship at @AaltoUniversity in unseasonably warm and sunny Finland. I'll be looking at the weird things scientists are making with biomaterials. Watch this space for #trees, #seaweed, leeks & mushrooms as you've never seen them before.
