Glad Science collected this data (though the results are entirely unsurprising). GenAI cannot accurately summarize scientific papers, sacrificing accuracy for simplicity. And shame on publishers who are pushing genAI summaries on readers. Great way to accelerate an epistemic apocalypse.

Omg that second highlight. Just straight corruption.

Someone on the Facebook page asked if I have any photos of Chesterman Beach so I pulled some out of the archives during my morning coffee. I'm off to Tofino to take part in the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust's 25th anniversary event... maybe I'll see you there? #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

It’s only 10:29 pm in Ukraine. And it already feels like one more horrible Night ahead. Shaheds are in the sky, Buzzing across the country. Tu-95s are about to take off. Which means missiles will follow. We wait in silence. We count minutes. We hope to see the morning. Please, pray for us.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

It's National Postdoc Appreciation Week! 🎉 We’re celebrating our amazing postdocs, including Jungsoo Park (Fowler Lab), featured in SFU News for his work in microbial ecology. Learn more: www.sfu.ca/biology/peop...

Happening in 1 week. Open to all (just register). We'll be discussing both the "How" AND the "Why" (over/under) on Getting Attention for Your Science. Including some too well kept secrets about how to connect with to your Uni's Comms people (Yes, they exist and they are probably wonderful!).

I wrote a response to Thomas Friedman's "magical thinking" on AI here: aiguide.substack.com/p/magical-th...

Deskilling is a huge concern. It's terrifying that students and academics convince themselves that AI can substitute for their own critical faculties or skill development.

I fear that if masked people suddenly drew guns on me, violently pulling me out of a car, I would end up getting shot and ultimately killed. Take a moment to watch this. This is not the America I recognize as my home.

Many brain imaging “biomarkers” for autism have been proposed. Most aim for balanced accuracy (matching sensivity/specificity) on datasets where cases and controls are split 50/50. 1/🧵

Hi Cian, I think this is the result of systematic statistical bias in sample AC: the shape of sample AC is negatively biased as time series become shorter (the bias can be computed analytically for simple processes). We discuss this in detail here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

womp womp.

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

We're going to see a lot of bullshit in the coming days and weeks about "causes of autism", and most will be based on flawed, over-interpreted observational studies (1/n)

Kevin wrote the book on this stuff (literally; it’s titled “Innate”). He neither oversimplifies things or overcomplexifies them. Speaking as a brain researcher with decades of experience who has also read and thought about these issues a lot, this thread capture’s what’s what.

"I now see that this lack of documentation was not an accident—it was deliberate." ☹️

How do the brain’s event representations change as we gain familiarity with an experience? Brain regions’ representations can become coarser or finer as event familiarity increases. Fine-tuning predicts memory recall. Excited to share this work with Narjes Al-Zahli & @chrisbaldassano.bsky.social!

We know academia runs on insular, tightly knit circles. That makes speaking out harder & retaliation more common. Survivors are silenced, pushed out, or followed from one institution to the next.

Nuns from a convent outside Waco have repeatedly visited the women on Texas’s death row—and even made them affiliates of their order. Lawrence Wright reports on a powerful spiritual alliance.
