Just decline the peer review invitation. What are you people even doing?

More than half of researchers now use AI for peer review — often against guidance

A survey of 1,600 academics found that more than 50% have used artificial-intelligence tools while peer reviewing manuscripts.

Excited to kick off the 2025 IMPaCT Summit today with a welcome from our co-director, Dr. Lauren Kelly @pharmalauren.bsky.social ! 🎉 Big thanks to Dr. Christine Chambers @drcchambers.bsky.social, Scientific Director of CIHR IHDCYH, for the warm welcome to our summit attendees! #IMPaCTSummit2025

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

This is the most anti-science thing I have watched today. What is most shocking about this is all of these statements are being made without any scientific evidence to back it up. There are very few safe options to treat pain and fever in pregnancy so this is also an attack on women's health.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

www.nature.com/articles/d41... So let me get this straight 1. Academics spend decades building the PDB openly 2. A company trains AlphaFold on it, releases limited code under pressure 3. Academics work hard to create fully open versions 4. Companies then use the open models to build closed products
