Some more since then. I don't know whether to feel happy or sad about these- 1. Got invited to join the Editorial Board for a journal where I have had the least success rate as an author. 2. Got invited to peer-review grant applications for an agency that has never funded me
Some interesting observations in last few weeks- 1. Got invitations for a meeting on February 2027! Yes, Feb 2027 😂 Sadly, had to decline it because it coincided with kids birthday 🤦♂️ 2. Got an email from a colleague saying “can you help me address comments from a reviewer on a

This is a cancer #groundshot study! Not surprising that this was funded by @theNCI and involves authors from NCI, @WHO etc. But we are disappointed to see that such important study with global implications is behind a paywall @NEJM ! NEJM should make this open access now.

TBH, at least in oncology, I’ll take 1 properly designed RCT with survival endpoint over 2 poorly designed RCTs using inferior control arms and testing for invalidated surrogate endpoints. What I mean by properly designed RCT-
This is really starting to feel like taking a flamethrower to regulatory standards for no reason. 60% of drugs are already approved based on one trial, but there are good reasons to require two -- especially for, say, psychiatric drugs. FDA to lower number of trials required

What a shame! I get to use the word #groundbreaking to describe a trial but @NEJM puts such an important #groundshot study from @theNCI @WHO behind a paywall. How is that even justified? Open access now!
