What if it is not whether peer review makes a paper "perfectly reliable," but rather if peer review catches a large portion of the science that is fundamentally wrong? Thus, the journal offers an imprimatur against truly terribly ideas masquerading as science.
Exciting position at The School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University.

Very excited to read this!
Trees use predominantly summer water in the Ressi #experimental #catchment.
Thank you to Giulia Zuecco for leading this work!

During the growing season, soil and plant water had a dominant summer origin but seasonality had a major role on their temporal origin.
Exciting news! Student applications for paleoCAMP 2026 are open! Are you a graduate student working on any aspect of past climates or environments? Apply to be part of our 2-week summer school in the eastern Sierra Nevada! More details here: paleoclimate.camp/apply
