I still get invited to random overseas "conferences" vaguely related to work I did. I left academia almost a decade ago, although I still have co-authorship on some recent publications from my old group.

After getting my second co-authored paper published during my time as an undergrad in relatively high-impact journals, I started getting spammed with requests to review shady COVID-19 related manuscripts by no-name journals.

The amount of damage shitty articles and shitty journals out there is terrifying to think about.
