Or, look at it another way. If the reviewers knew only the low status author, just 2% said to accept without revisions. If the reviewers knew only the high status author, almost 21% said to accept without revisions.

How could your job exploring caves lead to new antibiotics? Join #microbiologist Hazel Barton @cavescience as she dives deep into caves from New Mexico to the Brazilian jungle to study how microorganisms survive extreme starvation. #WSFCoolJobs bit.ly/3bsosD0 @Uakron

Are you interested in how microbes manipulate their hosts? The Newton Lab is hiring postdoctoral fellows to work in #symbiosis and #Wolbachia - I'll post an advert soon with details but do reach out if you think this may be a good fit.

These needle-thin stalactites hanging from the ceiling in the gargantuan chambers beneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge are caused by the effect of rainwater leaching minerals from the ground above. Over 160+ years some of them have grown to be several feet long. #Bristol
