🧪 Can researchers stop AI from fabricating citations? Probably not entirely. While models like GPT-5 are improving, hallucination is fundamental to their statistical design, shifting the burden onto users to build new intuitions for an AI age. #MLSky #AcademicSky

I have read few papers as immediately useful and important as this one on Cacio e Pepe phase behavior. Tl;dr: the starchy pasta water is absolutely critical to avoiding “mozzarella phase” arxiv.org/abs/2501.00536

Stop the press. There may be a universal PCR marker for covering all biodiversity. “we demonstrate the applicability & effectiveness of the JEDI marker approach for quantifying and monitoring biodiversity across scales, from individual holobionts to whole ecosystems” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interesting article on the things that AI does and does not do well, and why the skills we work to instill in our PhD students are exactly what is needed to continue to generate meaningful insights and expand the frontiers of knowledge. #AcademicSky www.forbes.com/sites/shivar...

Why do males and females often differ in traits? The expected answer: selection. But our new paper in GENETICS shows that genetic drift alone can generate sexual dimorphism — even when male & female optima are the same

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student to study patterns of local adaptation and introgression across the spruce hybrid zone in the Rockies near Calgary. Projects can include field work, bioinformatics, pop gen theory, or comparison to plant/ conifer species yeamanlab.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/...

I feel like Bluesky still lacks *something* that Science Twitter had. Yes, Twitter sucks now, but Bluesky is a pretty anemic replacement. Maybe it's less engagement or cross-talk, but it still feels very hollow here. I used to have whole conversations on Sci. Twitter, but that doesn't happen here.

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

About 15-20 yrs ago, a bunch of reviews (inc. 1 by me) made predictions about the future of genomics in conservation. 1 yr ago at ICISB, Robin Waples assessed which of those predictions had been fulfilled.
