In another "fun" news story of the day, the peer-reviewed journal Chest received a letter from the Department of Justice questioning its publication policies.
Forbes Journal article link: “Trump’s DOJ Is Going After Medical Journals For Being Too Woke”

and more journals like CHEST journal are conceding that they are partisans in
various scientific debates,” interim U.S. attorney Ed Martin wrote.’
So RIP ERIC and keep an eye on the news for department of justice contact with medical journals.
I'm heading the MLA in Pittsburgh next week. I'm sure that this will be a topic of many a conversation and discussion there.
