@crismunozp Had to get 31 signatures on a document for a journal - and they could not be digital signatures. They had to be hand written signatures. Utterly archaic.

“Det her er ikke en attribueringsøvelse,” siger forsvarschefen, og fortsætter med at tale helt sort til pressemødet med ham og forsvarsministeren om dronerne. Vi får faktisk endnu mindre at vide om dronerne, end da Troels Lund Poulsen tilbage i september 2025 sagde at det var “en kapabel aktør” som stod bag. Ingen billeder. Ingen beviser. Kun en påstand om at der var droner. Til gengæld skælder Jeppe Bruus ud på pressen.

Thanks, but your description contradicts my experience. In practice your system heavily interferes with meaningful editorial control over reviewer invitations, which goes to the core of peer-review integrity. This isn't a 'communication shortfall'—it's a systemic choice you made.

@michael_okun 2/3 By design, the Associate Editor’s expertise and reviewer invitations always take precedence. The peer-review system is built to support the editor’s decisions, and you retain the ability to revoke, replace, or invite additional reviewers at any point in the process.

@KoswasCrypto Anybody can write a grant that *proposes* "significant and rigorous" science. Many fewer actually *do* significant and rigorous science. If the latter is not considered, then why bother establishing a good track record anyway?

AI will be the end of universities! MOOCs will be the end of universities! YouTube will be the end! Libraries! The printing press! And each time life continues almost as before. Universities provide peer interaction, evaluation, coordination and commitment. That’s the value.

You know what other tools know better than most instructors? Coursera and YouTube courses from top faculty, *the internet*, books from the library. How many students used those tools instead of formal ed? Very very few. How many will use Claude independently to learn the

@arjunrajlab I am trying to build a framework that can use all the these published atlases Despite of so many cell atlases being published, the reusablility is really poor Tons of animals and money just being flooded away without reaching a proper researcher 😢

Can someone start a journal called “Cell Atlases” so that the rest of the journals can go back to publishing interesting things?

Hej @omDSB. Hvorfor kan man ikke købe returbilletter ud jeres nye “købsflow”? Hvorfor skal jeg købe to individuelle billetter og betale af to omgange? Jeg kan heller ikke vælge sæde? Men blot at jeg gerne vil have et…?Det er en seriøs downgrade af jeres billetbutik og service.

Medmindre opgaven er at bruge AI, giver det ingen mening at bede gymnasieelever skrive hjemmeopgaver. Utroligt, det ikke er lavet om for flere år siden. Sæt dem til at skrive opgaver i hånden henne på gym uden adgang til AI og bedøm dét.

Nå, de unge snyder i gymnasiet. Tænk en gang! Men AI fylder så meget, at lærerne ikke stoler på det, de læser. Hvorfor så overhovedet bruge tid på at lære fra sig? Og endnu vigtigere, hvad er det eleverne bruger tiden på, når de AI-generer deres opgaver. Artikel om det (m. link):

Earlier this week I posted an example of a fake western blot provided by ThermoFisher to demonstrate the validity of a p53 antibody. I considered it an amusing curiosity. In fact ThermoFisher has systematically manipulated antibody validation data. Short Thread... 🧵

It seems quite the fad these days, even among scientists, to assert how well AI can perform "science". Or maybe that's just what X amplifies. In any case these obligatory genuflections to AI just accept the definition of science as being mundane literature reading, run-of-the-mill associative hypothesis testing, and brute-force data gathering and model fitting. They don't differentiate competent but iterative work from the truly out of the ordinary and creative. Both are important, but only one is emulated by AI.

I sure hope AI gets a high paying job because it's going to need $12,850 for each of the thousands of papers a month it's going to be publishing in Nature. Also a concern is whether it will have enough left over every month to pay the mortgage for the data center where it lives.

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures", but their own internal data.

Still think we’re understating the impact of AI on university degrees. A growing numbers of students don’t just lack the inclination to read but the *capacity*. Literally unable to read and absorb difficult sentences for an extended period. Same goes for writing.
