www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult... Is this the unavoidable endpoint when knowledge, ego and career converge? This is a chilling article which clearly needs the academic community to find a solution, but we need to rethink how we reward academic endeavour. #NoMorePublishOrPerish
AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals
Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

Would be lovely to get your perspective.

The most exciting papers of the year! Could these observers provide insights into the potential of immunotherapy in other conditions? 🤔
This is a really great thread 🧵 about an important study using mixed methodology to understand a subject that rarely gets the attention it deserves. Kudos to the team @ucalgary.bsky.social guided by the brilliant @kerrijohannson.bsky.social

TETON-2 data looking good! 96ml of FVC ‘saved’ by inhaled treprostinil at 12 months. Devil will be in detail but all very promising.
youtu.be/zTs3PDEkB2w Interesting story. 1) Brexit actually increased migration. 2) Students r source of UKs immigration‘problem’, likely due to our outstanding universities 3) Cumulative asylum seeker retention builds up 4) A ‘hostile environment’ might work but at what cost & for what impact? 😬

I think this is a great idea, might be tricky to operationalise. The current system is breaking if not already broken. Incentivises research fraud. Will prevent people seeing the wood because of all the dodgy trees. #LessIsMore

This makes me sad (not altogether sure why), but I would like thank #DanielLevy for his hard work over last 25 yrs. The Stadium, European Glory Nights, Great teams, superstar players! 😍 There were some lows I’m sure but I don’t remember those. #COYS
Phenomenal result! FIRST positive 52 week study of inhaled therapy in #IPF. Benefits were independent of background therapy! 🤩 Along with Nerandomilast this shows importance of cAMP/PDE4 pathways in fibrosis & opens door 4 other therapies targeting these pathways! #FutureLooksBright #CureIPF
