These are excellent bits of advice for anyone looking to publish in the peer reviewed literature. Simple things that make a big difference. Major plus one for avoiding using your own invented acronyms.
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).

I've received some amazing support from @SSECornwall that empowered me to get the @rockpoolproject up and running. They've asked me to share this job opportunity and I'm happy to do so. Would be a great group to work with.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed recording an @IntoTheWildPod podcast with @MrRyanJDalton and me old mucker @Christophe_Patt . So you'll just have to wait and hear it for yourself. I the meantime do check out Into The Wild for loads of great wildlife and conservation chat.
This was genuinely so lovely. Talking to two people that spend their life working in connecting people with rockpools & the life that's in them! Man I love hosting this show.

Great research from great people on a great species! Well done @Christophe_Patt @ReganEarly @FABiogeography 🙌🙌. And well done to St Piran's hermit crab for making it over from France 🇫🇷 😃.
🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨.Remember the St Pirans Crab?〓〓@BBCSpringwatch . We figured out how and when it got to the UK!. But other rock pool critters might not be able to make the jump across the Channel. See the feature on @BBCSpotlight tonight and @BBCCornwall.

I am so shocked and sad that Matt Gage is no longer with us. I honestly can't think of anyone who combined being a top scientist with being a brilliant friend and colleague as naturally or successfully as he did.

Brilliant fun! Thanks Fowey Class. You were amazing!.
How wonderful to take Fowey Class from @CarbeileJunior School on a live, virtual rock pooling session. We discovered astonishing creatures, played rock pool bingo, imagined we were crabs, barnacles & fish and learned heaps about classification & adaptation. Next stop, the beach!
