BK, I will remain inspired by your quote as I launch into the next round of submissions of our paper that has been doing the beat for the last nine months (of which we ourselves have spent five doing new experiments, so I can't really blame the journals for that):

"We were quite frustrated because we accepted that we might be wrong in our conclusions, but were concerned that people were not getting the chance to test the hypothesis. None of the reviewers, it seemed, had any reasonable grounds for rejecting the work (the experiments were sensible and were done well, for example); it was mere prejudice against our experimental model that was keeping it back."

If I can persuade you to remain inspired, then perhaps this weblog is not just empty witterings.

Go for it.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
