So true! One of our paper got rejected by two reviewers using this.
Reviewer: Weak Reject! This is a straightforward combination of two well-known methods. The novelty is limited.

I was asked in research where intuition of a fundamental idea may come from. Well, like solving a jigsaw puzzle, after you have seen enough pieces, you intuition starts to see the big picture... the key is, without the hard work with the early pieces, intuition will never come.

Penguins at 5x speed. I have no idea why, but at this late hour, I find this both hilarious and mesmerizing. Earth life is weird and beautiful.

They claim it lacks novelty without Oreo cookies. One asked what is cheese?

I get a lot of reviews that say my work is not novel and I bet I'm not alone. It's always frustrating because I see novelty where the reviewer doesn't. Rather than rebut every critique, I've written a blog post to help reviewers think about novelty. perceiving-systems.blog/en/n…

So true.
Enjoyed this article @UA_magazine by Elizabeth Cannon. universityaffairs.ca/feature… As she says, “You will be judged by the company you keep.” In my experience, this is so true. We’ve put a lot of effort into building really good company @IngenuityLabs!
It's so nice we can do field tests in this unusual situation @fader_michael @queensprofessor 😀
