@jepub.bsky.social doesn't allow it: "the JEPub is currently not publishing articles researched through or written with generative AI tools. In return, we confirm that generative AI tools have not and will not be used in our editorial management or review of your article."

Researchers found that popular large language models often produce stigmatizing statements when provided with information about a person’s health. The findings add to growing evidence that #AI models can help perpetuate—rather than eliminate—harmful stereotypes. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4aGoUyS

Astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell was born #OTD in 1943. She discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967. The #Nobel Prize in #Physics for their discovery went to to her thesis supervisor Antony Hewish & to astronomer Martin Ryle. #WomenInSTEM #astrophysics #MatildaEffect

ok my mid-career academic tweeps: if you were going back in time to start as an assistant professor again, what would you tell your younger self? would you do anything differently? anything you did that you think was an A+ decision? give us soon-to-be new PIs any & all advice!

AI family assistants may promise to save parents time, but history shows that labor-saving technology usually expands expectations. Email & smartphones are efficient but raised bosses' expectations for employees' availability and productivity. www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

"The propagation of AI slop [...] is making science less trustworthy. But in parallel, AI enthusiasts are telling the world that the remedies should all be easy to automate, creating the impression that journals can not only catch more errors but also do it more efficiently and cheaply."

talking with friend who’s a retired CompSci prof about being busy and sometimes tired. remembered that yesterday I spent all day talking about science and experiments. the “what if you..?” and “could you measure X…?” and “does the Y work for that?” my heart smiled at what a fun day it was. 🥰

Neuroscientist Brenda Milner turns an incredible 108 years old today! In the 1950s she uncovered the role the hippocampus plays in consolidating memories, and in the 1970s she published her seminal studies of speech lateralization. Wishing her all the best today! tinyurl.com/3am8syhf #WomenInSTEM

American Diabetes Association (ADA) blocks the publication of opinion pieces in Diabetes Care about the organization and its behavior. Absolute censorship. The editors of Diabetes Care will ensure the truth is known. Are they teaching the government how to behave? What can we expect next from ADA?

The American Diabetes Association appears not to have learned their lesson the first time around (below). Now they've blocked publication of an editorial about this event that was slated for publication in the same journal, Diabetes Care, this week. But here it is. You know what to do.

Got this email from UConn Office of Vice President for Research, reminding us of the new NIH policy that any co-authorship with foreigners needs to have *prior approval* from NIH. It should be disclosed in advance in the grant proposal, or approval requested if collaboration arises later. What BS

I Got Slopped. Someone used A.I. to write a biography of a New York Times technology reporter, so her editor forced her to read it. Thousands more of those books are polluting Amazon. Who is behind all this drivel? by @kashhill.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/t... via @nytimes.com

I am once again telling you these people are eugenicists BECAUSE they believe that the lives of people of different racial/ethnic/ancestral backgrounds are inherently worth less than the lives of white people. This man literally calls this kind of research a “waste”…

Here's what our policy says: www.tfri.ca/docs/default...

Manuscripts with women as corresponding authors are less frequently sent out for review at Science. The ones reviewed receive less favorable reviews by both male and female reviewers.

brilliant scientist whose amazing longevity has nothing to do with bio hacking.

Happy 108th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social
