In 262 Voyages Beneath the Sea, @DivaAmon and I looked at the history of discovery at hydrothermal vents in order to better quantify how little we know about these places: https://t.co/Tr9DzJipQl
The conclusion: we've barely begun to scratch the surface.
I spent 3 years working on a single paper, and it's probably the most important one I've ever done. Taking the time to do something bigger than the least publishable unit should be incentivized.
And good luck beating that opening paragraph.

@hormiga I had a reviewer try to fight me on the opening paragraph of my 262 Voyages paper: https://t.co/Tr9DzJipQl
Heck no. I'm never going to be able to write an opening that hits like that ever again.
@KendraWrites If you're looking for another data point, we did a deep dive into deep-sea mining at hydrothermal vents that demonstrated that the North/South divide in resource exploitation still shows up in emerging extractive industries, too. https://t.co/Tr9DzJipQl
@ZachWeiner The reviewers did not let me get away with using milliHelen to quantify the amount of scientific interest necessary to launch a research cruise in this paper: https://t.co/Tr9DzJipQl
.@DivaAmon and my article '262 Voyages Beneath the Sea' was one of the top 5 most viewed #Biogeography #ConservationBiology #EnvironmentalImpacts and #MarineBiology articles published in @thePeerJ journal in 2019!
