Quote of the Day: Academic Journal Edition

Rick Durrett is a fountain of snarky remarks. At the workshop I am attending, he just unloaded this beauty [in perfect deadpan] during his talk: "I don't know if anyone on the editorial board is here. Do not submit to this journal."

Nice!

(I don't have a formal collection of quotes or snarky remarks from Rick, but he's definitely uttered some doozies over the years.)

  1. Not even a hint about which journal, for those of us who arrived later?

  2. I purposely suppressed that from the entry. :)

    I think it was 'Probability and Random Algorithms' or something like that. Maybe I'll feel more confident about this after I get sleep.

    Durrett's talk was actually quite full of snark, but that's to be expected.

    Goodnight!
