I have one of those flies in my office that keeps landing on my hands and head. I know if I try t get it out of the house it won't leave. Clearly one of the teenage flies.

They say never work with children and animals. Sometimes it can take a few attempts to record my Under Review intro as I walk around the beautiful Derbyshire countryside with my dog. Yesterday Dufi made sure I fluffed at least one recording with his toilet break.

How do we fix the publishing model so that research is open to all, not driven by metrics and profit. I chatted to @samuelmoore.org for my latest Under Review podcast where he offers possible solutions and throws a few things into the Under Review bin. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub55... 1/2

Another clip ahead of next week's Under Review podcast where the topic is conferences. One of my two guests Russell Arnott discusses the issue of communication and jargon and that at language can make the difference between a good talk and one where delegates are left feeling lost.

My back room office is running at over 30 degrees with a fan blowing at the thermometer so I needed a solution to help with the sun beating down on me. I present, my latest and possibly greatest invention. The office chairsol.

If human editors can’t control who reviews science, it’s no longer peer review — it’s a rubber-stamp machine designed for volume and profit, not quality. I have no intention of attaching my name to it. So I’m out.

Anonymity of social media posts highlights the subjects that doctoral candidates feel unable to discuss publicly, researchers say https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/mental-health-supervisory-issues-taboo-phd-students

I've been getting reports of a person reaching out to academics with an offer to edit or create Wikipedia pages for them. In one case, they already had one (right so), the other didn't and doesn't make the case for one. Surely this goes against Wikipedia's ethos? @richardnevell.bsky.social

I asked Google Gemini a very simple question, to rank teams in the 2026 World Cup based on their expected goal scoring ability. It gave me 48 teams broken up into groups based on goal scoring success. It included Italy.... Italy are not in this edition of the World Cup. Note the feeble reply

Creative generative AI tools could learn a lesson from the Web 2.0 generation. Why aren't more generative AI tools offering a 'pay as you go' model rather than wholly going down the subscription route. A few thoughts by me. www.linkedin.com/pulse/creati...

Creative generative AI tools could learn a lesson from the Web 2.0 generation.

We're seeing a slew of new creative tools as part of the generative AI revolution. I'd imagine far more than we saw with the advent of Web 2.

A clip from next week's Under Review podcast where I chatted with @jameswilsdon.bsky.social about the rapid change to the research funding landscape due to generative AI. We discuss many things including how AI-generated grant proposals have increased vastly in number and what to do about that.

Today, I’m launching a High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok. I am just one of thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes. This should never have happened – and xAI must be held accountable. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
