Odd, health care workers absolutely are covered in Germany. At the hospital where I work there are even open vaccination days, everyone (who wants) gets the flu vaccine and everyone with patient contact gets COVID-19 at the same time.

Excellent read. Authorship conflicts can get pretty nasty sometimes, even ending long term collaborations. I do like the concept of authorship agreement, but all parties should be ready to stick to it.

Authorship disputes are one of the most common conflicts in research groups around the world. But they are not inevitable❗

That's why manual curation and validation is so important. Sometimes human expertise is much more powerful than whatever model is used to make annotations.

An OpenAI executive said GPT-5 found solutions to 10 "previously unsolved" math problems when in reality all it did was find online references to places where people had already solved them

Pretty sure real science is actually reading the papers, thinking very deeply, and more, before writing, not generating literature review-like objects with no authorial intent or legwork

Só as laranjas antes de dormir e não varrer os pés com uma vassoura, as outras não me lembro de ter ouvido falar. Conheço outras, como não beber vinho quando se come melancia, ou não comer verduras no dia de um santo que não me vem à memória, toda a água ser benta no dia de São João...

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Há uma palavra que se aplica à decisão do Comité Nobel de Oslo de ter resistido à incomensurável pressão a que foi sujeito por parte de um poderoso auto-designado candidato ao Prémio Nobel da Paz: dignidade. A palavra seria coragem se a nomeada tivesse sido Francesca Albanese.
