Should we create an academic cryptocurrency? Mining would happen through peer reviews and committee meetings, eventually convertible to the ultimate hard currency: pizza

I like to celebrate the small victories in science. For example, today I fixed the lab vacuum trap

Idea: develop a new method and use it to uncover lots of cool new biology Reality: develop a new method and use it on one well known and well characterized piece of biology

Is the difference in the impact factors between journal statistically significant? Journal should specify the statistical test used, n, and exact p value when referring to their JIF

I see remarks in grants review about applicants productivity. How is that measured? I suggest printing out and weighing the papers the applicant wrote, multiply be impact of journal and divide by time. Unit of 1 gr•impact/ year or 1 Clarivate
