  1. I'm a #MedicalEditor, so yeah, I think #science is important. But #scientific #research affects YOUR #health too. Changes planned by the US Office of Management & Budget would drastically cut back on US federal #grants for #research. Please read & act BEFORE July 13: linkedin.com/posts/kokedit_med

  2. In the journal #Nature, an #author asks: "My English skills are hurting my chances in #academic #publishing — how can I improve?" nature.com/articles/d41586-026

    That is why I, as a longtime and respectful #MedicalEditor, specialize in #editing such authors' #research #papers before #submission to #MedicalJournals. www.kokedit.com

  3. As both a #MedicalEditor and a person who has to deal with the US #healthcare system, I want to read this book by Miranda Yaver, an assistant professor of health policy and management at the University of Pittsburgh.

    #Coverage #Denied: How #Health Insurers Drive #Inequality in the United States

    Publisher: Cambridge University Press

  4. As a responsible #MedicalEditor, I explain to my #authors when it might not be immediately clear why I make a particular #edit.

  5. #LinkedIn, you big silly! Though my LinkedIn profile makes it clear that I’m a #SelfEmployed #MedicalEditor, you give me info on companies seeking a *medical doctor*. Your #algorithm doesn’t get it that “medical editor” *does not* necessarily mean “physician.” Please write a wiser algorithm!

  6. Your #MedicalEditor is on #vacation in a cabin in gorgeous #Vermont with some family members and did *not* bring a computer or #manuscripts to #edit❣️

  7. I'm going to have to put #MedComms Day on my calendar for next year. I forgot that today is MedComms Day 2025! ismpp.org/medcommsday

    If you're a #MedicalEditor or #MedicalWriter, you'll want to learn more about the annual celebration.

  8. #LinkedIn, you just don't get me, do you? If you'd use the services of humans instead of #AI, you'd send me emails about job ops and #freelancing ops I'm qualified for. I'm an experienced #SelfEmployed #MedicalEditor, not a dentist, a CEO, or a mystery shopper. linkedin.com/posts/kokedit_lin 🙄

  9. Current (2025) #profession-related data on me, your #MedicalEditor: 41 years in publishing, 30 of them in #medical #publishing; #self-employed full time since 1995.

  10. I love it when the brains of the #author group, the #project #managers, and me all click on how to fix a #medical #manuscript issue. What a big serotonin hit! #MedicalEditor

  11. How could I have forgotten my best personal remedy? I haven't had music playing lately while I #edit, but today I have #instrumental #Gaelic #music playing while I work. Music is #medicine. 🎶 #AmEditing #MedicalEditor #VoteToday

  12. Your favorite #MedicalEditor in her office. And yes, that's a comfortable #gaming #chair she's sitting in. A person working at a desk has to take care of her back. #AmEditing

  13. I love this letter that a fellow #MedicalEditor had #ArtificialIntelligence write for him: an angry, strongly worded Shakespearean letter to the editorial board of a #MedicalJournal that has been slow in getting a #manuscript through #PeerReview. tinyurl.com/54wnheap 😉 #AmEditing

  14. Even if you're a #MedicalEditor and not a #MedicalWriter, you may be interested in what the American Medical Writers Association has to say in "An #Ethical Approach to Harnessing the Power of #AI for Medical #Writing": blog.amwa.org/an-ethical-appro . #AmEditing

  15. On the Scholarly Kitchen blog, Roohi Ghosh of Cactus Communications writes: "[S]hould all of the blame for these transgressions [re #AI-generated content] fall on the #PeerReview process?" tinyurl.com/27bkbue4 #AmEditing #MedicalEditor

  16. As a #MedicalEditor helping #physician-#researchers refine their writing so #MedicalJournals will want to #publish their #articles, I'm frustrated by how people mess with #science. @RetractionWatch reports on ways #SciencePublishing is now fudging the truth: tinyurl.com/y8mpaanb #AmEditing

  17. I'm enjoying my current #work #project so much! As a #MedicalEditor, I was asked to #edit #PatientEducation #documents to make them easily understandable by non–health-care pros. I'm making #health knowledge #accessible & removing some stress for parents whose children need medical care. 🫂 💕

  18. Your favorite #MedicalEditor is ready for another day of work. The “We put the sentience in the sentence” T-shirt is one of my favorites from the #EditorialFreelancersAssociation. #AmEditing

  19. People take different paths to being a #freelance #editor. Here's Karen Klein's transition story in an open access article in Science Editor, journal of the Council of Science Editors. She provides 3 pieces of advice for moving into #SelfEmployment. #MedicalEditor tinyurl.com/ymas48zt

  20. Who'd have thought it? A person can be a #MedicalEditor for more than 30 years & still come across a #science #word she'd never encountered! Here's a screenshot from Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary defining the word "lawn" (a #noun) as something other than a grass-covered area: "a relatively even layer of bacteria covering the surface of a culture medium." Who needs stimulants when #learning is its own high? #AmEditing

  21. Happiness for a #SelfEmployed #MedicalEditor: Just before my family's camping vacation, I find out that a favorite physician-researcher from Japan will have a #journal #manuscript for me to #edit when I return. See you after a refreshing trip to the mountains! #Bookstodon
