‘Lipstick on a pig’: how to fight back against a peer-review bully Scientific societies, journals, editors and researchers are pushing back against mean-spirited peer reviews.

Have definitely come across this reviewer: “This manuscript was not worth my time so I did not read it and recommend rejection.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Accomplishment" [accomplishing] ? Fulfilment/fulfilling ?
(Given its "supersessionist" overtone, which was obviously the prevailing way of thinking.)

One of my intellectual heroes. The worthy heir to Florence Dupont's (and ANHIMA's) legacy.

Book cover of "Student Notes from Latin Europe (1400–1750): A Research Companion," edited by Xander Feys, Maxime Maleux, Andy Peetermans, and Raf Van Rooy. Published by Leuven University Press. The cover features a partial diagram of concentric celestial spheres and an anatomical drawing of a human head labeled with Latin terms for sensory faculties. The design is minimalist in beige and gray tones. There is also an open access logo and the logo of Lueven University Press in the bottom left corner.

In the new #openaccess companion on student notes from Latin Europe (@leuvenup.bsky.social), our own Lorenz Demey, together with collaborators, contributes a chapter arguing that student notes hold great promise as sources for intellectual #history 👇 lup.be/book/student... #HPS #earlymodern #philsky

I omitted Barbara Cassin (too obvious) or James Maffie (still not that known, IMHO).

Happy to hear other takes/references, as well. 👍

Thanks !

I compulsively footnote (almost) every text I read. 🤪

In addition to Pierre Vesperini and Sylvain Roux, who challenge the common/ordinary (mis)conceptions of ancient philosophy (contra Hadot, etc.), what other references would you (briefly) suggest ?

If true, this would be very similar to the amnesty deals that convinced Latin America’s right wing military dictators to step down in the 1980s. It’s the most proven model for democratic transitions, and more effective than bounties or CIA plots.

Un macroestudio confirma que millones de personas toman un fármaco contra el infarto sin necesitarlo: “Vamos a ahorrar millones de euros” Una investigación internacional certifica que los betabloqueantes, recetados por sistema desde hace cuatro décadas, no aportan beneficios a la mayoría de los supervivientes de un ataque al corazón

Los autores aseguran que estos datos son “irrefutables” y que sus conclusiones afectarían a decenas de millones de personas en todo el mundo. Pocas veces un estudio científico puede tener un impacto beneficioso en la vida diaria de tanta gente.

someone commented on the Russell Parallel Latin-Greek grammar last weekend. I put up an initial version of it (along with Pharr's Homeric Greek): gregorycrane.github.io/xml-llm-show...

The funny thing about it is that I distinctly remember being told by a uni. professor that this plural form (iḍan, or rather uḍan) originated as a euphemism for "dogs barking during the night'."

Thanks ! (I heard him lecture and give interviews in Paris.)
