Today's paper is so rattling :( The work is like an undergrad report but it's done by full-blown permanent academics who shouldn't be feeling their way through basics.

The scariest part is that it's a radiology paper. So much is said about healthcare problems but not enough, I fear, about the quality of research being done and the vast quantities of money being spent, alas, on maintaining the broken research and publishing systems rather than improving them.

All I can do, though, is leave comments pointing out all the problems that I see in the hope that the researchers will advance their skills a bit.

So frustrating when they come to me at the end of a project instead of at the beginning.
