So really, what's the point other than the prestige? If we'd done it all ourselves we could have achieved exactly the same end result but with a better cover and cheaper.

It's more amusing than laugh out loud.

Not exactly but I have said that they have 10-15 minutes to come up with questions on the reading or with the questions they think other people need answered (but are too shy to ask). Sounds a bit tortuous but I got the best most interesting questions with this framing

It's quite the ego trip though

It's rough out here and article submissions are increasing so fast some journals have become super harsh. It's most likely not you!

Seriously, is this not just a chapter?

I'd like to give them a thunk or two

This is hilarious and I think @thesiswhisperer.bsky.social will appreciate

Sounds fascinating

Why is it so hard? What would we risk that's worth human lives, other than right wing talking points?
