@aidangcw Genuine question: what’s the goal of asking this? If people feel incentivized to hide AI use, the checkbox just becomes noise. We don’t ask authors if they used spell check or reference managers, so what problem is this actually solving?

So, I edit a journal, and when you submit a paper it asks if you used AI in the preparation of the paper...it's a checkbox, and then an open response if you check yes. It's obvious that a lot of people are liars. People are submitting work that obviously used AI in various ways, but they check "no" 1/2

New Pub Alert🚨 Our analysis of the AMIS study (2017–2021) finds lower HIV testing and PrEP use among MSM in the Mountain West vs. Pacific states, despite similar risk behaviors. Expanding access is critical to meet EHE goals. 🔗 doi.org/10.1071/SH25105 @EmoryPrism @asunursing

Beyond excited to celebrate my PhD candidate’s first first-author pub! 🎉 Using qual UX data from our MyData–MyChoice study, we adapt a patient–provider comm framework by integrating PrEP navigators to strengthen sexual health communication. #ProudMentor tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

"Advocacy showed me that my voice as a scientist extends far beyond my publications.” This is exactly what SBM’s Policy Ambassador Program makes possible - empowering researchers to bring evidence directly to Congress and influence real policy decisions! This year, we’re striving to raise $7,500 to support the next class of Policy Ambassadors, protect NIH funding, and ensure behavioral medicine has a strong voice in Washington. If you believe in the power of science to shape healthier futures, we invite you to support the Policy Advocacy Fund today: ➡️sbm.org/donate/donate-… #BehavioralMedicine #AdvocacyInAction @PHealthAngel

📢 New Pub Alert! Our study shows that among Latino MSM, intersectional internalized stigma and identity salience may worsen mental health, while identity centrality and pride offer protective benefits; highlighting the need for intersectional stigma-informed interventions. 🔗👇

Excited to be attending @ASU AI Day! Hoping to learn how AI innovations can shape how we learn, research and work. @asunursing

I’ll start! Thank you @PublicHealth where are you at @BehavioralMed @APA ?

Have you seen a society take bold action in response to these attacks? Shout them out. Let’s highlight the ones doing it right—and call others in to do better. #ScienceNotSilence #ScienceAdvocacy #FundScience (5/5)

Too many scientific societies are staying silent while science is under political attack. Silence isn’t neutrality—it’s complicity. I wrote about why we need louder, braver advocacy in @sciam. If your society isn’t speaking up, ask why. 🧵 1/5 scientificamerican.com/article/trump-…

@DrJuanDelToro Sorry to hear this 😞

I just received notice that my diversity supplement was cancelled… has anyone been successful with appealing a termination to the NIH? Would love any advice if folks have any!

@ChenglinHong @BehavioralMed @SGMHealth Well deserved! You rock!

@drsanjaygupta @CNN @MSNBC @omaririchins

I am truly disappointed in the current statement brought forward by @BehavioralMed , instead of fighting for its members it has turned its back on them. share widely, and ask the societies you are affiliated with with if they will support your science or not #terminatedscience
