About The Peer Review

Where critical thought meets cultural impact

STEaM in context. Conversations for action.

Launched in March 2025, with support from the Center for Space Medicine Research at Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, The Peer Review spurs conversation around some of the most important and charged issues in the sciences today.

Now rogue, TPR is powered by two independent researchers and science communicators. Carli and JoAnna are absolutely mad about science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEaM) and its intersection with society, culture, ethics, politics, and human progress.

We're on a mission to catalogue the current zeitgeist by highlighting, unpacking and upvoting critical narratives, as well as championing the bold thinkers, driven innovators and ethical researchers of tomorrow.

Fresh content, delivered

Stay up to date with new content sent straight to your inbox! No need to worry whether you missed something because of an unreliable algorithm or news feed. We aim to publish fresh content every week here, on Substack and our other socials.

As of 2026, we hope to onboard guest contributors and maybe even branch out into podcasting or live streaming...once we finish writing all those grant proposals and papers.
