A feature in Nature examines the debate among researchers over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning and how to remedy the problem. 🧪

Are groundbreaking science discoveries becoming harder to find?

Researchers are arguing over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning – and how to remedy the problem.

I’m also curious how to include the use of an AI tool in the Disclosures or Acknowledgements. It’s helpful to know which section of the manuscript should include this, and what language to use for the disclosure to be clear?

Interesting- I tend to emphasize the utility of LLMs as a tool- ChatGPT and NotebookLM have become very helpful to articulate some of my newer ideas. I think the ambiguity comes from the types of prompts individuals use. “Write my paper” is different than “organize these thoughts in an outline.”

Nature posed a variety of scenarios to 5,000 academics around the world to understand which uses of AI are considered ethically acceptable. The survey results suggest that researchers are sharply divided on what they feel are appropriate practices. #Academicsky 🧪

Is it OK for AI to write science papers? Nature survey shows researchers are split

Poll of 5,000 researchers finds contrasting views on when it’s acceptable to involve AI and what needs to be disclosed.

U.S. government researchers present 'phenomenal' new data on HPV vaccines

A new study seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent HPV infection is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer.

There is a LOT happening at #AACR25, including some big name researchers, including former government officials, speaking out against cuts to science funding.

And there are also some amazing data!
