I know finding reviewers is hard atm, but I have had a paper sitting in "awaiting reviewer selection" limbo since August: how long would here everyone wait until they declare defeat, withdraw the submission, and try elsewhere?

First time creating images for a presentation on chronic illness at work using DALL-E 3. Still working on refining the prompts but overall pretty happy with the results #IOPsych

Does anyone have music recommendations for what to listen to while grading 100 exams? Only rule is: it can't have lyrics - I usually go with my two M's: Mogwai and Mozart - but I'm getting a bit bored...

Hi Bluesky people. Happy I could join! I research cool stuff on chronic health problems and work. Still working on my #scicom skills. Sometimes I might post in German.
