Dear senior scientists and tenured/full professors of this network, hello! I'm looking for researchers with a long way down the road who have a story (or stories) of mistakes or errors made (especially if these involve funny stories, so bloopers are more than welcome!). >>

Please, have a read at this thread on "automation" using AI in peer review.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

How to communicate health in catastrophic times

Nature Health - Everyone working in health is a potential communicator, but training, research and resourcing are needed to match the scale of the challenge.

Oh and of course the editorial that was not supposed to be shared: diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

Misguided Brushes of a Pen Continue to Dismantle and Destroy Biomedical Research in the United States: We Can No Longer Afford Complacency and Fear. We Must All Act Now!

The opinions expressed in this editorial are the personal views of the authors (S.E. Kahn, C.A.M. Anderson, J.B. Buse, and E. Selvin) and do not represent

If the goal was to not let them share reprints of an editorial, maybe having the police escort them out was not the best choice 😭😭 @altmetric.com www.altmetric.com/details/1954...

The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

causal meditation folks. Help! I have a scenario in which Rcde / Rpnde / Rtnde are <1, and Rpnie/Rtnie >1 (way weaker than the direct ones). It's VAX (exp), infection (med), and MACE (outcome). I m struggling to interpret this. #episky #rstats

The more I use AI for development, the more concerned I am about the fact that knowing what makes an effective prompt and the appropriate, opiniated, guardrails necessary to consistently get high quality output is much harder if you don't have quite a bit of experience doing things by hand first.

The senior faculty at my place today had a really good starting conversation about concerns/expectations as we mentor colleagues re: GenAI (and other algorithmic tools -- but that's the big one) Here's the starter thoughts I had last week about all this: hedgehoglibrarian.com/2026/05/04/w...

In my sphere there have started being a number of new conversations about use of GenAI in the use of scholarship and how that will impact assessment for promotion and tenure. We’re having the…
