I need your help. When I'm making projects happen, I don't have as much time to remind people to buy merch/donate to Skype a Scientist. SO our balance sheet is...oh dear 😅 If you're able, becoming a monthly donor, even a couple bucks a month, would be really amazing.

There’s a guy on IG showing how Krogers is shorting people on pre-weighed and packaged goods and I gotta say, shout out to your local and state weights and measures offices because they are about to be busy with all the shrinkflation.

I am always impressed with the new ways that Sarah makes science accessible, from Skype a Scientist to zines to a phone number you can text for squid facts to billboards to town events. This is $ well spent!

it's almost like academic fields have different practices and histories of publishing, who could have guessed? I come from the humanities, do multidisciplinary work, & mostly work in the sciences now. With love, if Humanities folks can't recognize different cultures have different practices....

Every week or so I think about the fact that the cops/government shot a white man, Alex Pretti, in cold blood and nothing has happened to his murderers. The murderers still have their jobs and the unarmed white man is a cautionary tale for white people to not challenge the white supremacist state.

you trust that your coauthors will hold their end of the bargain as you hold yours. if someone fails to play fair, everyone is responsible for the consequences regarding the outcome/publication. that doesn't make everyone personally a fraud. that part seems rather straightforward.

Smith economics full professor - Chicago PhD & Stanford JD. Puts on his bio that he “has appeared on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor and Stossel”. Argues on x that it’s unreasonable to expect for authors to check every citations they use. I wish I lived in a world with fewer pathetic stereotypes.

Some fields use a convention of an acknowledgements section, but the biggest problem is that the incentives in academia are built around publication not service. And, as we know all metrics are turned into goals. The ban threat does help with the problem because it adds a disincentive.

It's a different culture that does different work using different norms. Having written in both traditions I think it would be nice to have more interdisciplinary curiosity and less accusing an entire field of academic fraud.

Because I am regularly exposed to students I can give the anecdotal report that someone saying “He used AI” is derisive as fuck. It implies that you are useless for group work, likely an active problem not just lazy and ignorant. That the only reason you’re in university is wealth.

yeah basically the whole initial rollout and all of the apocalyptic claims were aimed at convincing executives that they should shove AI into every aspect of their workflows and honestly that part worked pretty well, a lot of execs do that but the general public backlash was very predictable

The answer is no. There is no way that smartphones are responsible for a 40% decline in worldwide fertility rate. This is what the graph looks like from 1970 to the present (from

Interesting that the rise of smartphones happened concurrently with a historical economic depression that we’ve never recovered from, leaving a generation worse off than the previous for the first time in a century. But yeah it’s probably tinder or something that’s making us not want to fuck

I think more of us env scicomm folks need to present our work through old-timey, vaguely-horny Men's Adventures magazine covers like this. Absolutely immaculate vibes from our girl Rachel (who I can only imagine was mortified?)

Few things buttress my faith in humanity like this loathing. The fact that the AI overlords have so miscalculated what we would think and whether it would matter is fun too. A bit like the Trump Administration's miscalculation of how Minneapolis would respond to invasion by a thug army.

I’m sorry but if you aren’t sure of a citation, whether what it means or that it exists… why are you citing it. why are you referring to something you haven’t read or don’t understand? that defeats the entire bloody point

I really hate what this attitude is doing to scientific collaboration, too. When I started my PhD, I couldn’t read German, but my advisor could. She translated for me and helped me learn it so I could read those papers for myself later. Scientists shouldn’t work in a void. It’s not just us and AI.

Remembering yet again how, when I worked at HHS, we weren't allowed to use public funds for the water cooler in our office. That was a personal expense and we all chipped in, because we needed to preserve public trust.

These responses are wild. Academic research is reading papers and building your work based on what you've read in other people's published articles. How are they getting trained in academia without knowing the basics of research?

I love how this is accidentally a great metaphor, I think "being offered a seat on a rocket ship" is a scenario where it would be reasonable to ask a lot of questions (Where are we going? Who's making sure we'll be able to come back?")

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

How about focusing on the impact on state universities, where the aggregate effect of funding cuts is much larger, and on research that is vital but has little to do with "America's competitive edge"?

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."
