If you're using AI to help you write your thesis and you're not telling your supervisor about it - there's a problem.

This is really important. “More than 100 retired NASA astronauts have banded together to form a new nonpartisan organization…” and its members believe deeply in “principles such as the rule of law, checks and balances, and the peaceful transition of power.” Follow @astronauts4america.bsky.social

Some political person from HHS who clearly doesn’t know which way is up, is reviewing NIH grants and making absurd suggested changes. This is on top of a set of discriminatory changes required by NIH. www.science.org/content/arti...

We protect apartment dwellers from the cold. So why not the heat? Canadian cities need maximum-temperature rules in place for homes as part of the response to climate change, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

🚨PLEASE everyone submit a comment regarding these proposed policy changes by the OMB which will completely and utterly destroy USA science. Elizabeth's guide is great. The point is to be personal and specific. Non-scientists can respond. Get your friends and neighbors to respond. Can be anonymous

Unreliable and underperforming antibodies are a longstanding problem, so while the reveal of apparently manipulated antibody data in Thermo Fisher's catalog was a shock, the frustration it sparked among many researchers is perhaps no surprise. My reporting:

The most infuriating part about this is being a physician having faced these scenarios and knowing that this would happen, shouting about it as loudly as possible for as long as possible, warning about it even in TIME Magazine, and being shouted down, even by moderates trying to play to the center.

Sweeping draft regulations released by OMB pose one of the most significant threats to federally funded research in decades. The proposal would affect nearly every aspect of the scientific process. Read more: https://www.ascb.org/science-policy/federal-research-regulations-threat-american-science/

Register and attend if you can. A great way to get up to speed on this. This is not a drill!

Canada released its draft AI strategy today that will modernize online safety laws to protect Canadians in the digital age. However, it doesn't specify what those modernizations will look like. Here's what UBC AI pioneer Dr. Alan Mackworth recommends. @alanmackworth.bsky.social @cs.ubc.ca

back in emergency (urban trauma centre) with my mom over weekend. so very impressed by these healthcare workers who are doing an amazing job in very challenging conditions kudos to them all ❤️

Several people have asked for possible content and structure for comments regarding the proposed OMB regulations. With some suggestions from others, I have posted on example (as a Word document) for downloading). jeremymberg.github.io/jeremyberg.g... I hope this is helpful.

What does the new OMB proposal mean for science? How can we STOP VOUGHT and SAVE SCIENCE together? All of these questions and more to be discussed at the Emergency Science Meeting on June 2nd, 4PM ET, hosted by Stand Up for Science! Register at the link in our bio, or go here: zurl.co/g3vTZ

Study suggests more Canadian kindergartners are experiencing developmental vulnerabilities after COVID-19 www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti... Any elementary school teacher can testify. This is awful timing for the Provincial Government to be making such large cuts to the systems that help these kids.

The filmmakers of 1958 Disney documentary "White Wilderness" imported lemmings to a location in Canada & forced them over a cliff, creating an enduring myth of lemmings driven to suicide. But the Norway lemming (Lemmus lemmus) has a new take on that myth: They go Viking BESERKER.

Could Canadian media stop telling us that the trades are stigmatized? They are not. They get tons of government support, decent pay and we all need them. If anything 🇨🇦 universities are stigmatized as we descend further into anti-science, anti-academia rhetoric www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
