@thakares @sciencegirl Not how evolution works- we also did not evolve in an environment that required doing 99% of the tasks we do nowadays.

@sciencegirl Nature gave us the perfect anatomy over millions of years of evolution. Just for the sake of a nonsense task, we don't need the third thumb.

The third thumb you never knew you needed

@DeryaTR_ lol

In the age of AI, with some practical training & AI it’s possible to become a scientist without credentials like PhD. These were highly valuable when acquiring knowledge & expertise required years of training, but no longer needed due to abundant intelligence & AI as your mentor.

@PhD_Genie PhD in philosophy is a Doctor of Philosophy in philosophy :)

What does the "P" in "PhD in Philosophy" stand for?

@sadhavi Science did not reject God. The existence of God can never be disproved using science. I do not see why mental illness has to do with God. Lots of people with mental illness are religious. What is science doing about it? Science led to development of numerous SSRIs and treatments

Science rejected God. Fine. That is science’s right, but I have a question for science. You have had 300 years and trillions of dollars at your disposal and the best minds on earth. And today, more than 1 billion people live with mental illness. Anxiety is the fastest growing epidemic & depression is the leading cause of disability. What is science doing with this?

@dopabees Don’t let AI think for you- use AI to help optimize and speed up brainless tasks. But not for critical thinking or creative tasks.

Does anyone else feel like their brain is literally degrading from using AI too much? My grammar, choice of words, and language has significantly decreased ever since I subscribed to the ChatGPT Pro plan.

@JuliaEMcCoy Purpose of education was never memorization.

We are sending our kids to school to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds. We're grading them on essays that AI writes better than their teachers. We're preparing them for jobs that won't exist by the time they graduate. The entire education system is training humans to compete with machines at what machines do best. That's not education. That's sabotage. The schools that survive will teach thinking, not memorizing. Creating, not repeating. Discerning, not obeying. Every other school is a museum that doesn't know it yet.

@ifeelitsoclose Glad he found time to collect data, mentor students, read the literature, attend classes, design studies, review papers, teach, do service….

박사 동기 중에서 매일 오전 9시에 착석해서 밤 9시까지 논문을 쓰는 사람이 있었음. 눈이 와도 비가 와도 그 루틴을 반복했음. 그렇게 4년을 살더니 동기 중 유일하게, 졸업식도 하기 전에 학계에 자리를 잡았음. 난 그렇게 살진 못할 것임. 하지만 묵묵한 꾸준함이라는게 얼마나 중요한지 느꼈음

@theficouple Shhh keep Buffalo a secret

@RedditCFB @Undaunted4lyfe Another hypothetical win for notre dame !

@Undaunted4lyfe Notre Dame should have been in, and had they been in Miami’s position may very well have also made the Final.

Miami was the last team in the Playoff, and they not only made the Championship, they nearly won it. They would not have qualified under next year’s rules. 😅

@RocMaul @ZbotTweets I do blame Josh. I think he made a ton of mistakes and deserves blame. But it doesn’t excuse the fact that that call needed to be reviewed and it wasn’t handled well or conistently. The mentality of just accepting every ref decision is not helpful.

@NicholasNeuwald @ZbotTweets Well in this case it’s because the refs know the actual rule. Sorry you didn’t like the result. Maybe blame your boy Josh for coughing it up so much and missing wide open Know when he could have walked it off.

That’s a catch?? I thought you had to survive the ground???????

@ggkuhnle the most absurd nutrition related practices tend to originate with an MD

I would never tell a medical doctor how to do their job - they have expertise and experience. But I'm always surprised how many medical doctors believe they know more about nutrition than nutritionists.

Let’s go Buffalo !! 🦬

@HustleBitch_ Nicotine is not the same thing as tobacco. No one has been saying nicotine causes cancer. It’s addictive but that doesn’t mean it’s carcinogenic.

“NICOTINE DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER” - RFK JR He says pouches are safest, vapes second-best instead of cigarettes. “Nicotine itself does not cause cancer, there’s no evidence that it’s carcinogenic.” So why have we been told the opposite for decades?

Just found out there’s a lot people who believe humans are not omnivores. If you’re one of these people please explain.

@shundeshagen @gunsnrosesgirl3 Nah it’s delicious - fat is flavor

Foie gras. This dish is literally made from a pathologically fatty liver (hepatic steatosis), and eating it means ingesting tissue that mimics an advanced stage of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans. Such livers accumulate abnormal amounts of triglycerides, inflammatory mediators, and oxidative stress byproducts, which can promote low-grade inflammation in the eater as well. What’s lesser known is that fatty liver tissue is also rich in certain lipid peroxidation products that have been implicated in endothelial damage and early atherosclerosis, meaning the “luxury” bite carries biochemical echoes of a disease state.

What is the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy

Getting funding for an ultra processed vs minimally processed food RCT and not controlling for energy density is irresponsible. The outcomes are a given if one diet is much higher in energy density. What are we learning from such studies that we do not already know?

Surreal to be able to present research at Oxford University! My last day at the society for the study of ingestive behavior conference.

When she’s not working in a library she’s vacationing to see them 📚

The study I’m currently running got a feature in the news ! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…
