It's happening again. We have a big Memorial Day backlog. Any bioRxiv Affiliates around to screen papers, we'd be forever grateful! 🙏.
bioRxiv bat signal to Affiliates! We have a big backlog of submissions. If any of you have time to go in and screen a few papers, we'd be immensely grateful - as would the authors! 🙏.

The first Plan U 🤣.
The first letter of the genetic code was cracked #OTD in 1961 at 3am by Marshall Nirenberg (right) and Heinrich Matthaei (left) at the @NIH. Nirenberg shared the 1968 medicine prize with Har Gobind Khorana and Robert Holley for their work on the genetic code. #NobelPrize

An article that might have the highest cited : read ratio of all time. Partly due to a 'citebait' title (for which author/journal is to blame) but also lazy amplification by many in sci comm who didn't read/understand it but felt it supported their narrative.
@mlipsitch I'm saying that his "all papers are wrong" paper is wrong and so is his most recent paper which is frustrating because as you point out he is trying to make his own point but then he is failing at that because in fact not all papers are wrong, only his seem to be.
