An inside look at that meteorite journal

Leila Battison wrote one of the other papers that appears in the current Journal of Cosmology alongside a NASA scientist's claim to have found fossilized bacteria in a meteorite. "I contacted all five of my suggested reviewers to ask if they had, in fact, reviewed my paper. To my astonishment, none of them had even seen a sniff of it," Battison wrote in her personal blog. "There was also a small matter of me being credited with a PhD I do not yet have."
