Excellent new #preprint by @olivia about the dangers of mindless #AI use in science and education: https://philpapers.org/versions/GUEATU

Really makes you see those google gemini ads in which humans are depicted as incompetent nincompoops who don't know how sink siphons or smelling things to assess whether they're spicy or not work in a new light.

I will never understand why the authors of a manuscript that they post on a preprint server spontaneously decide that it will be better for whoever reads their manuscript to have not only all the figures at the end, but also separated from the legends?

WHY 😭

(Same question for papers sent to review btw. Most journals allow for the format of your choice for the first submission. WHY not make it a nice, easily readable format??)

Trop gros, trop cher, trop moche..., le système de publications scientifiques est à bout de souffle. Un article de "niche" pour passer un bon été :https://www.lemonde.fr/sciences/article/2025/07/07/le-monde-des-revues-scientifiques-au-bord-de-l-asphyxie_6619660_1650684.html
(allez au bout car il y a des messages d'espoirs...)

et en bonus, un "appui" sur l'usage de l'IA qui n'arrange rien,

Hacer un doctorado en ciencias tiene un poco de apostolado.

Hoy, como #orientadororgulloso me doy el gusto de compartir el #preprint del segundo artículo del doctorado de Cristina Parada.

Poco se sabe del gen Ptr, aunque perderlo es, casi seguro, una condena a muerte antes de nacer (afecta seriamente los músculos, y probablemente el desarrollo del sistema nervioso entre otras cosas).

Usando moscas de la fruta, un bichito conveniente y barato, Cristina y un gran equipo descubrieron que una mutación en Ptr altera la maduración y dinámica de las células del sistema inmunitario.
Cuánto pueda decirnos esto de alteraciones más profundas del sistema inmunitario está por verse, pero es sin duda un hallazgo importante.

@UlrikeHahn
We as researchers are just super naive. If you ask me, those things go back to Big #Tabacco vs #Science
Ironically, they demanded what we in #OpenScience demand nowadays, but with a very different aim... :(

I touch upon that in a recent #preprint on open data: https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/hk786_v1

"Long before today’s #Open #Science movements, the Executive Committee of the Sound Science Coalition (1994; cited in Ong & Glantz, 2001) published guidelines that align with what Open Science practices advocate today. For example:
(1) The study design should inform about all hypotheses,
(2) after the study was conducted, the data should be analyzed as described in the study design, and
(3) if the data does not support the hypotheses, no further analyses are necessary.
Shockingly, in #1994 these recommendations were motivated by the fact that parts of the #tobacco industry aimed to #discredit research and researchers on a large scale, with the goal that it could not be legally established that smoking increases the risk of lung #cancer (Drope, 2001; Muggli et al., 2001; Ong & Glantz, 2001). Along this line, one may accuse researchers as having been naive to the vested interests aligning with scientific rigour by non-researchers."
