Massive status bias in peer review. 534 reviewers randomized to review the same paper revealing the low status, high status, or neither author. 65% reject low status, 23% reject high status. Amazing work by Juergen Huber and colleagues. #prc9

Start of the semester is starting to settle down, and we are welcoming students back into the Paleoarchaeology lab. Much to sort, photograph, and analyze in the coming months. Such a privilege to be able to work with data and objects recovered during summer fieldwork!
