We can thank all reviewers but we aren’t allowed to thank you individually!
One of the golden rules of gratefulness is to be personal and specific. Not ‘you all did a great job’, but ‘thanks Babette, I know you edited 44 zombie nouns from that paper and gave it a much more engaging title’. The authors have just written back to thank BJSM. Fringe benefit: video link if […]

Stop. Breathe in, breathe out… Mindfulness hitting the New Zealand rugby scene
