1/2. a few month ago, I saw someone her and/or on Linkedin telling that he discovered that his private code on github was stolen and used in a paper not acknowledging him. I can't find it, does someone remember this and send me the link to the original post ? #science

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

What if We Can't Rely on PubMed? - Absolutely Maybe

PubMed is incredibly reliable. And a lot depends on it. It’s an ecosystem built around MEDLINE, the steady feed of new publications…

And…. I didn’t get it 🙃😭. At least it was fast. (𝘛𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦.) bsky.app/profile/titi...

Me realising that the deadline for a grant submission is sunday night, not monday night, and that I need to cut my holiday short now, not tomorrow. 🧫 🦠🧪#esr #MicroSky #microbiomesky #PhDSky #AcademicSky

Au fait, on s'est dit qu'il fallait quand même qu'on vous propose aussi un kit avec les adresses de toute l'équipe d'Epsiloon. Parce que oui, on est tous là maintenant. Bienvenue ! go.bsky.app/3EFfgk2

Many of my students and a few of my colleagues run their writing through an LLM to improve the prose. LLMs can make bad writing better, but they can just as easily make decent writing worse. Note the lack of flow and the added redundancy in the example below.

ChatGPT 4.o

QUERY: Improve this:

"Ask an LLM to rephrase an awkward sentence.

You can judge for yourself whether its suggestion improves your original text."


RESPONSE: "Ask a language model to rephrase an awkward sentence and see if the result enhances your original wording. You can decide for yourself if its suggestion is an improvement."

J'en ai PLEIN LE FIAK de voir les gens foutre de l'IA partout même s'il y en a pas besoin, puis de casser les miches aux gens un peu réfractaires en mode "Ohlala c'est juste un outil ce qui est important c'est comment on s'en sert".

And now for the announcement: While many of our plans for the award funds will take time to implement, one can start immediately. To thank our users and encourage scientific debate, we’re introducing $1,000 rewards for selected PubPeer comments! Yes students and postdocs you read that right: $1000

We are on the look out for postdocs to join the Lieberman Lab at MIT. Areas include: -Connecting bacterial warfare to strain dynamics in vivo -Evolution and transmission of microbes in humans -Revisiting role of microbes in acne vulgaris Take a look at our recent preprints and reach out!
