Kayfabe News & @SevenBucksProd could be the greatest collaboration since Monsoon & Heenan! Let's bring it. 🎬🎥💰 @bfg728 The doc about wrestling referees is awesome and you'll love it: TheRefMovie.com
Dear @bfg728 and @SevenBucksProd and @TheRock, We made a documentary celebrating the unsung zebras of professional wrestling. Pro Wresling Illustrated rated it "five out of five suplexes!" Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=1wypX7tE… Want to see the whole thing? Say the word! 🦓🎬

Here Is Your Winner recognizes the benchmark triumphs we see occurring in the referee community. We want to encourage everyone to take what they can from each shout-out and see what they can apply to their own craft. Knowledge is power! @Call_me_Colin

As public trust in science continues to wane, writes @UWaterloo astrophysicist Roan Haggar, it's essential for scientists to demonstrate what science is — and what it is not — to everyone. bit.ly/3Wirmn0 #SciComm #Astrophysics #Science

"3 million peer-reviewed papers published every year, multiply those by two-to-three reviewers, times four-to-eight hours per reviewer… that math doesn’t work. Yet we persist in this dreamlike fantasy that somehow peer review is going to ensure quality.” firstprinciples.com/article/…
