Starting today, thanks to @NSF, MSU is now recycling nearly all of the helium in its #NMR facility. It's been a crazy week, but Bryan from @BlueFors_Ltd got us up and running. @nmr900

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).
