Hm, 5 year old journal, with the editor board, funding and half of the authors all from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but significant hospital contribution. I remain skeptical of the headline but hopeful of the science.

Well if it's real, it will be a no brainer Nobel prize, so it certainly won't be the last we hear of it in that case.

I mean even though the CAS is a state organization of China, they do still put out real science. they have real researchers working with and for them. I'm honestly more concerned about what they don't put out than what they do.

For sure, I just get antsy when peer review doesn't come from from external sources
