With salaries, for example. And with its Hannah Grey Fellows program <a href="https://www.hhmi.org/programs/hanna-h-gray-fellows-program" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">hhmi.org/programs/hanna-h-gray</span><span class="invisible">-fellows-program</span></a> , its Freeman Hrabowski Scholars program <a href="https://www.hhmi.org/programs/freeman-hrabowski-scholars" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">hhmi.org/programs/freeman-hrab</span><span class="invisible">owski-scholars</span></a> , and more <a href="https://diversity.hhmi.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">diversity.hhmi.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> .</p><p>Distillers initiatives like The Transmitter <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@thetransmitter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>thetransmitter</span></a></span> with its curated, accessible reviews are providing the filter plus summary and references for anyone to access a particular field on a solid foundation. A role that good reviews also do. Here, it's critical to avoid biases in sampling the literature, hard as it is but imperative to do right.</p><p>In that vein, journals like <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fediscience.org/@eLife" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>eLife</span></a></span> (disclosure: I'm one of the senior editors) with its vast corpus of trusted reviewing editors, each and every one of them a practising scientist that runs a lab in an academic institution, and spanning from early career to senior, is providing also a reference for trust. If a journal can contribute anything at all in these days of gaming impact factors and papermills is precisely what eLife is doing: empowering trusted, active scientists to curate the new literature.</p>
