1. We—@eduede.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, Kevin Gross, and I—have a new preprint on the arXiv today, based on ideas that emerged during an @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in November 2024: The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science.

The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science

As a labor-augmenting technology, large language models (LLMs) have the potential to accelerate scientific activity across the research pipeline. But even if LLMs perform on par with human experts at ...

Brown plumages are social signals that reduce aggression towards young seabirds! doi.org/10.1016/j.an... Out now in @asab.org Animal Behaviour, ft. real gulls, plastic gulls Led by amazing undergrad Molly Hill, Lily Fanburg, @sdobney.bsky.social, and @dmennill.bsky.social

a young American Herring Gull (probably first-cycle, or ~12 months old) in brown plumage stands in front of an older, breeding bird in its iconic gray-white-black plumage.

Balogun, Sztepanacz & Ness investigate the evolutionary forces that shape the transcriptome in 24 wild strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, finding that gene expression displays moderate heritability. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msag142 #societyjournal #algae #evolution

Stabilizing and directional selection shape the genetic variation of gene expression in the transcriptome of Chlamydomonas

Abstract. Gene expression has proven to be a source of evolutionary novelty and is important to phenotypic evolution. However, we still have a poor underst

Remember X-Labs? Without transparency, and in defiance of Congress, a new memo to NSF directs “program managers to stop seeking funding for any proposals, even those that received the highest marks from outside reviewers and program staff, “until we are able to provide more details.”

“‘A lot of researchers are asking themselves difficult Qs right now,’ says @kendallsciwrite.bsky.social , an ed for Nature’s careers team. ‘Is this career sustainable? Do I still see a future for myself in science? Am I making a difference? We want to understand how widespread those feelings are’”🧪

Nature wants to hear from researchers worldwide about what it feels like to work in science today - particularly job satisfaction/prospects and salary. The results will inform coverage in @nature.com Find Nature’s 2026 Career Survey here (takes about 15 mins) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

If you are a student whose NSF GRFP application was returned without review for vague 'eligibility' reasons: 1) Let your department chair & Graduate School know. Encourage them to contact NSF & congress 2) Write to your congressional reps. 3) Write to grfp@nsf.gov to request re-consideration;
