29.1

I will argue that late 2013 marks the point in time when preprints took off in biology, and ironically this caused the q-bio archive to slow its growth. ... In fact, soon after its launch, bioRxiv started experiencing rapid, exponential growth in monthly submissions, and the slowdown in q-bio submissions exactly conincides with the start of this exponential growth in bioRxiv (Figure 29.2).

"conincides" may be "coincides".

Some might hear this story and conclude that the generals are not very smart or just not that into science. I think that’s exactly the wrong take-home message. The generals are simply very busy. They can’t spend 30 minutes trying to decypher a cryptic figure.

"decypher" may be "decipher".

Figure 29.3: Mean arrival delay versus distance from New York City. ... Delta has consistenly lower arrival delays than other airlines, regardless of distance traveled.

"consistenly" may be "consistently".

Sometimes, however, we do want to show more complex figures that contain a large amount of information at once. ... Never jump straight to a highly complex figure; first show an easily digestable subset.

"digestable" may be "digestible".
