I've been seeing this more and more, labs are shrinking due to massive funding cuts and scientists are leaning more and more on AI. There used to be a lot of debate about whether or not academia was a pyramid scheme, but I think that will quickly be obsolete if labs start using AI rather than training new students. "The issue is not whether my students are valuable. In the long run, they are invaluable. The issue is that their value emerges slowly, whereas AI delivers immediate returns. I feel somewhat embarrassed to admit how tempting this is. In our culture, preferring an algorithm to a trainee feels like a betrayal of the academic mission. Yet I see these calculations shaping the labs around me. Close colleagues are quietly refraining from taking on as many students as they used to. When they do take students, they are noticeably pickier." science.org/content/articl…

Long Covid affects people of all ages and includes a myriad of post-acute and long-term adverse health effects caused by the infection. ⁠ ⁠ A 2024 #SciencePerspective highlighted the efforts made to understand this public health concern, what is known about the condition, and its wide-reaching effects on the risk of developing other chronic diseases. ⁠ Despite increasing knowledge of the mechanisms, epidemiology, and prevention, several challenges remain. First, the care needs of people experiencing Long Covid are consistently not met, and patients are often met with skepticism and dismissal of symptoms. Second, the lack of consensus on terms, definitions, and clinical trial endpoints for Long Covid, as well as the lack of animal models that can capture the breadth of Long Covid phenotype, are slowing progress and hampering the discovery of drugs that could improve patient health.⁠ ⁠ Addressing these challenges would not only provide insights into Long Covid but also other infection-associated chronic illnesses that have underappreciated long-term health impacts like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).⁠ ⁠ Learn more on #LongCovidAwarenessDay: scim.ag/3DCyV2Q

@humptyvicky Ο σοσιαλισμός στον εγκέφαλο σου δεν σου επιτρέπει να καταλάβεις ότι το η κεντρική διοίκηση δεν ελέγχει τα πάντα ! Υπάρχουν και οργανισμοί και και . Συμφωνούμε μόνο στο γεγονός ότι το κράτος πρέπει να περιοριστεί στα απολύτως απαραίτητα 😁
