I have resigned as a reviewer for the Royal Society. I encourage others to do the same.

Dear editors,

Today I saw some news about the Royal Society which made me very uncomfortable. As a result, I am afraid I will withdraw my voluntary reviewing work for Royal Society. I will not after all be completing this review for Royal Society Open Science.

Good on you, it is clear the Royal Society, by cosying up to Musk, has lost all credibility.
There are some excellent societies out there who I am sure will welcome your skills and expertise.
