Experienced researchers are less likely to produce ‘disruptive’ science than are those just starting their careers, finds an analysis of scientific papers published by 12.5 million researchers over 60 years go.nature.com/3Pb1lqg

Early-career researchers do more ‘disruptive’ science than veterans

Nature - Analysis of papers from millions of scientists shows that older researchers tend to stick with ideas from their past.

Most of us develop gene mutations linked to blood cancer as we age, but only a small proportion go on to develop the disease. New research from @benjaminwerner.bsky.social and team at BCI explores why, showing how mutated cells compete and evolve over time. 🧪 #medsky #oncosky @qmul.bsky.social

Study offers clues to blood cancer risk, revealing how gene mutations compete over time

Researchers have developed a new way to understand how genetic changes linked to blood cancer evolve in our cells, offering new insight into predicting blood cancer risk.

This researcher created a fictional illness, and fake studies funded by the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and University of the Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad. LLMs warned people the illness was real. go.nature.com/47UhWFb

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

Nature - Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

Should academic misconduct be catalogued? Proposed US database sparks debate
