#WebofScience Smart Search and ✨Research Assistant are really awful. Highly unrecommend. #AIslop

A silent problem in #Academic #reviewing is that many reviewers work at institutions, like #universities, with no access to many of the references. Thereby making it impossible sometimes to validate whether the citations are legitimate. #R2 #PublishOrPerish #AcademicSky #AIslop📘💙🔎

My exceptional PhD supervisor, Ron Bradfield, has died. His family let us know that he passed peacefully at home. He changed my life, in no small part, by being one of the greatest examples of humanity. He & George Wright brought more women into our field than anyone before. He is a true gem.

#UnpopularOpinion? When a student reaches the last year of their degree & doesn't know how to use the university's course system, like #Blackboard, #Canvas, #Moodle, but has high marks in all their courses, this should be treated as a

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

The little comfort I take with our guaranteed future of #AI fabrications is that I was pretty stellar at #photoshop detection as soon as it hit the market. But the question will always bounce around in the back, how do you know when you don't know!?!? #PufferPope

Population statistics in action: It makes no sense to link dropping #BirthRates on the newest adult generations (e.g. #4B movement) because birth rates started to drop the second the Baby Boom was over. #Boomers were the OG #celibates #PopulationStats #demographics #DataScience #WomenInSTEM

From a publication c. early 2000s. The passage discusses the 1999 #US #PresidentialElection. I know it's a typo, but... was it? Also, it reminds me of the incredible #campaign spinoffs that year. The "Bush and Gore race" was well received by the #American public. #BushAndGore #PresidentialHonors
