Peer Review

 Peer Review comments can be an extremely valuable contribution to developing your thoughts and ideas as a scientist as well as helping to improve your comunication skills. When we explain ideas to others their feedback can help us avoid any sorts of bias in our thinking, can help reveal prior knowledge that we might be unaware of, or alternative experimental approaches that we could usefully incorporate into our project. Peer review can also reveal that the way we are expressing something is not conveying to the audience what we think we are conveying and we can work on explaining things more clearly.
