Description

This time, Pedro Veliça (creator of Pedromics) is joining the show. Peer review is a cornerstone of academia and scientific publishing, but certainly not beyond improvement.

We're presenting a few alternatives and discuss potential implications for us as scientists, but also our truth standard in general.
