The other thing that was mentioned, I think by Dr. Kaufmann, struck a chord with me, and that is the idea that buzzwords can affect someone who is assessing a paper. For instance, we're all part of this milieu of what we're getting from various forms of media and things like that. How do we guard against that? To me, it would be an easy thing to be seduced by the use of these buzzwords, whether it's something like climate change or biodiversity or some of the ones over time in our careers. How do you guard against that when you're assessing somebody's excellence in science?
