Science magazine is not much better, particularly under the guidance of Holden Thorpe. I regularly cringe when I see Thorpe's ridiculous editorials.

I am contemplating a review of a debate that Holden Thorpe had at the start of the pandemic that is linked here on Heterodox STEM. As one might expect, Thorpe did not cover himself with glory. But if one knows Thorpe's background, which is somewhat similar to that of Dias, I guess it is sort of "par for the course". Thorpe previously was an enthusiastic advocate for the lowering of standards of all kinds in STEM, as I recall.

How we can allow our most prestigious journals to fall so far is just beyond me. We are in real trouble.
