Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told โ€œyou donโ€™t have access, pay to download this article?โ€ Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! Iโ€™d be delighted to help and answer questions!

The ๐Ÿง  toss is a nod to NWNoggin @nwnoggin.bsky.social, the group that got me tossing brains for neuroscience outreach. We bring real brains into classrooms โ€ฆ we only toss the 3D models though. Been so deep in the studio prepping for next weekโ€™s show that I havenโ€™t had much time outside it lately.

โ€œThey claim the current regulations are hindering the kinds of human subject research theyโ€™d like to do, specifically taking aim at informed consent requirements. They want toโ€ฆโ€™reduce administrative burden on investigators, institutions, and institutional review boards.โ€™โ€ ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿคฌ NO ๐Ÿ›‘

NEW: The Trump Administration is planning to slash human subject research regulations by redefining informed consent. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-plan...

When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped. I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.
