seriously there is NOTHING WRONG with saying that a manuscript is fine as it is and does not need further changes! I think half the problem with peer review is that we all feel under pressure to find flaws, however minor, to show we are doing our jobs.

It has been an honour to host @UniofOxford's @chatrin_ch on her Scotland 🏴 tour's 1st stop in Dundee. We had many activities and reunited @CRUK_SI alumni @IPuoti and Helge. Very exciting work on #ubiquitin ADP-ribose from her PhD & postdoc work. Nice late night walk on the sea cliffs with @KevinHaubrich1

Thank you @BandQ for donating plants for @Dunn_School's plant swap during @TheCCoalition's #TheGreatBigGreenWeek. Plants play a crucial role in sequestering carbon. Recycle your unwanted plants—they could be treasures for others! All proceeds will go to @oxfordmutualaid. 🌱✨
