Can I suggest the revival of an old fashioned principle among scholars? You don’t criticise what someone else has written unless you’ve read it?

New hope against antimony-resistant Leishmania!
Our SbV-porphyrin hits 170× harder than standard drugs, targets ERG6 (absent in mammals), and cuts parasite load by 96% in mice.
Proud of this global #TeamScience effort!

Thrilled to share our new collaborative work!
Climate change could push L. shannoni — a sand fly linked to VSV and Leishmania — into the NE USA and Atlantic Canada.
Using MaxEnt modeling, we mapped future risks for human and animal health.

WHO issues starkest warning yet on fallout from U.S. withdrawal of aid for global health Breaking: The WHO issued its starkest warning yet on the consequences of the abrupt cessation of U.S. global health funding, saying it is threatening to reverse years of progress worldwide.

“If disruptions continue we could see an additional 15 million cases of malaria and 107,000 deaths this year alone, reversing 15 years of progress,”

The World Health Organization issue a stark warning about the global consequences of the U.S. rolling back public health funding:

Online influencers need ‘urgent’ fact-checking training, warns Unesco Research shows six in 10 social media content creators do not verify accuracy of information before posting it

Yikes. No surprise. Still, yikes!

Online influencers need ‘urgent’ fact-checking training, warns Unesco theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

"...two-thirds of content creators fail to check the accuracy of their material, making them and their followers vulnerable to misinformation."

Setting limits can also concern what you don't say or do. For example, not replying to an e-mail at the weekend means you don't work at the weekend. On the contrary, replying to e-mails during this period opens the door to people wanting to contact you during this time.
