Letter Desk
Paste Monday’s letter before it goes out. The desk checks that every cited paper exists and has not been retracted, flags news that is older than the freshness limit, opens every link, tags askdimitri.net links for this issue, and writes the numbered Sources block. It never sends anything and uses no AI.

Numbers without a source
Percentages, sums of money, HR, OR, RR, n = and p values with no link, DOI, PMID, NCT number or source number such as [3] on the same line.
Every such number has a source next to it.
Visas, research funding and government
Passages that mention visas, immigration, NIH, grants, federal or government matters. Read them once more for a neutral tone; the desk does not judge the wording.
No passages on these topics.

Sources block
