www.nature.com/articles/d41...? A researcher at Gothenburg U made up a skin problem caused by too much screentime, and uploaded a popular science piece and "preprints" online. Soon, LLMs would treat the condition as real, and the fake study cited in real medical papers.

"time to rethink the extent to which a single entity should be responsible for disseminating and evaluating research...we should build a more decoupled system in which articles are first disseminated as preprints and then undergo review, filtering, and evaluation"

Parse or 10x? any advice? we're thinking about trying Parse but would love some feedback from the #immunology community. this sequencing project is for lung #macrophages if that matters? please circulate and send me any info about your experiences!! @jeffmold.bsky.social have you used Parse?

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.
If you're a US-based scientist but have not been to a @standupforscience.bsky.social rally or contacted your lawmakers or otherwise defended science then please read this blog post. We need to defend science, not for our own self-interest/funding, but because its many gifts belong to society.

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.
