If you do science, you are a scientist 💯💯💯 You have every right to ask questions, propose solutions, express doubt. No matter what level you are when you're doing scientific experiments The best moments in my workday are when our intern asks why or how
Understand. Don't memorize. Learn principles, not formulas. - R. Feynman
Let me put my @mbeisen hat on for a second …. We can avoid all of this and a lot more by completely getting rid of journals. They are a massive obstacle to scientific progress - the @NIH should refuse to allow ANY of its money to be spent on journals.
We're about to create the 1st gen of scientists who can't research without AI. And honestly? I'm not sure if that's evolution or devolution! 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝘁𝗼: — Extract key findings from dense papers in seconds — Design entire experiments from scratch — Turn complex studies into engaging content for public — Generate survey questionnaires that would take days to create — Respond to peer reviewers (yes, really) & this book does a great job going through these details! But missed the elephant in the room: ⤴️ research inequality. Universities with AI access will accelerate faster than those without. Researchers fluent in prompt engineering will outpace those who aren't. We're creating new divides in an already unequal system! It doesn't address how AI might bias research directions: ⤴️ We're training AI on biased research. Now it's teaching us. See the problem? Overall, this isn't another "AI will save us all" book. Authors actually tested ChatGPT on real research tasks & documented both the wins and the spectacular failures. 𝐌𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: We need AI-literate researchers, not AI-dependent ones! 💬 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴? Comment if you'd like a link to download this book! ------------------------- Useful find?

I am among those who think that science has great beauty. -- Maria Skłodowska-Curie
Got a truly life changing result in the lab today. One of the most significant of my career. Let’s hope I get to follow up on it…
latest paper from the lab led by PhD student Gilia Patterson. Gilia has developed a spatially explicit deep learning method for close kin mark recapture that we think will be extremely useful for conservation biology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Or we will use such complex, convoluted language that even other PhDs struggle to pinpoint our conclusions
Countries must cooperate to seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become the top destination for scientists, says Maria M. Mota go.nature.com/43Aff8u
Scientists: "The discoveries we make and advances we deliver are completely dependent on taxpayer support." Also scientists: "We won't make the results of taxpayer funded research available to the public unless you force us to."
