too perfect that she studies helminths and is herself a parasitic tapeworm on the body of accumulated knowledge that was once called Scholarship...time for some ivermectin!

I am an associate editor with two Q1 journals and the rot is much deeper. In one journal none of the editors-in-chief have a degree or any interest in what the journal is about. In addition to being lefties, they are simply ignorant. They are at stage 2 in Dunning Kruger and make sure most contributions are, too. The first two years, I desk-rejected everything. It was pure rubbish. Then I sent out stuff because I thought I might be too demanding. The reviewers, always a number cruncher and a content expert, als thought everything was rubbish. Academics publish not because they have ideas but because they need publications in top journals.

These people are activists from the Antifa school. If they can waste our time, they will see it as a small victory

They rarely go all the way, one has to infer this. One should do some more survey experiments on academics to prove this. I am happy to work with anyone interested in doing work on this.

She carefully avoided being direct on purpose, as to admit this openly would make it easy for her to become a target from opposing political actors in media. Just slimey woke ideology corrupting science
