This is a Tweet for everyone missing @Arley_McNeney, who maybe feels very alone in that missing because social media grief is weird and odd in its transience but I really miss her today and I know many of you do too. <3

If a surgeon faced repeated complaints tied to concerning circumstances surrounding patient deaths, the public would demand accountability.
But in MAiD?
An Ontario doctor facing multiple MAiD complaints is still allowed to practise under supervision.
Canada’s euthanasia regime lacks meaningful oversight and accountability.

I read all the papers I cited at least four times – probably far more. That's why it's called reading for a PhD.
And I could instantly tell when students cited papers they hadn't read. It's really obvious to anyone that's actually done the reading.

@eiszett Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.
English
Sometimes that's done deliberately. You have to look in the methods to be like oh, yeah, they acknowledged that this was an open-label trial or a very underpowered study. So many people aren't even trained on methods research. But they're gonna use LLMs to do it for them? Naw.

Doing things like risk of bias training is so, so humbling because reviewing the quality of evidence for studies, guidelines, meta-analyses is so contingent on being able to read VERY carefully for how things were done. It's not always well- or clearly-described.

People not reading the shit they cite for AI-researched papers is always fun when you have experience doing evidence synthesis including abstract and full-text screening. Manually screening hundreds of abstracts and seeing if you need to get full-text and then screening those...

The first step to any research project is a literature review, which includes actually reading the existing papers about your topic of study. This was covered on the first day of my research class in graduate school.

I remember the first time I did an annotated bibliography in undergrad and being both like "WTF is this?" because it took so much time and I just wanted to write and then being like WHOA, look at all these IDEAS!? Reading in order to cite is the great puzzle and joy, goddammit!

Academic Twitter is having a meltdown because some people have just learned that you should actually read the sources you cite. This really shouldn't be as controversial as it appears to be.

my holy trifecta is a morning when i can shower, brush my teeth, AND wash my face all at the same time.

Chronic illness really has you celebrating things that would sound insane to healthy people. “Wow I folded laundry AND showered today without needing to lie down after. Woo!”

The abstract creative "Muse" is just cloud computing, which is to say, unless we have citational practices, which is why reductive notions of "creativity" in the face of AI right now is just not it, I fear. Where are we imagining the future FROM? (Data. Whose data?)

As a researcher and educator, it's my job to keep going back to get data. "Go back and get it" - the Akan principle of Sankofa, literally drives my work every day. Responsible data governance includes knowing how to be creative with what is in the archives.

I want to challenge this. #Data are important. We need data to see patterns in bloodwork, migration patterns of animals, in climate change, in the archeological and geological record. How you GET data, from whom, where, and what you DO with it are the power questions. #AI

I heard an interview today about AI in creative spaces and the man being interviewed said “AI is data, and Data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I need to sit with that in the best possible way.

Just a reminder that our treacherous disability org in BC told me I should move into a nursing home and stop fighting for my right to live in community (2010). Same org has woman on board who launched legal case to expand MAiD.

I feel a cold fury whenever I open a pdf of some paper to read and Adobe is like "Hm, this looks long. Would you like me to just summarize it for you?" No, fuck you, Adobe. The paper is long because it contains a lot of details that matter. Why wouldn't I want to read them?
