Here is my checklist summarising a small set of some of the simplest tasks you can do that have high potential to improve the reproducibility of your analysis code. This is based on my year of reproducibility reviews for the J. of Archaeological Science: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lHjN_6yUM... 🧪🏺

These are SO fun. We had a class during my undergrad at the University of York (Archaeology) where we had to make memes - I remember it well. I’m sure I still have the one I made saved somewhere…

Typos, gender-neutral pronouns and even emotional language in patient messages make large language models more likely to recommend people stay home instead of seek medical care. This AI bias could be especially problematic for certain patient populations. 🧪 www.newscientist.com/article/2486...

I’ve been living in fearful anticipation of this situation for all of my doctorate so far - and have awe for those who pull through it all! Including colleagues who defended grant applications and #PhD in the same week! #academia
