I am saddened to hear of Lynda Greenwood dying. She pushed me in the right direction as a confused teen. She was funny, clever, brave, and responded to injustice with productivity. These are qualities we could all do well to adopt ourselves ❤️

WOW! This is too much: "Elsevier is withdrawing 165 articles currently in press and plans to retract 300 more that have been published as part of 6 special issues in one of its journals, and Springer Nature is retracting 62 articles published in a special issue of one journal."

Sensationalist tabloid headline linking minority populations to environmental damage. How did this pass ethics approval? How did this pass peer review? Were the potential consequences of publishing on mentioned populations considered? If so, what conclusions were reached?

Absolutely abhorrent @ElsevierConnect that one of your journals, the Journal of Environmental Management should see fit to publish this. This article has the potential to endanger the lives of gay men and it’s urgent that it is retracted immediately 1/
