ultimately, that would be simpler and less work

it sounds like an opportunity to get on your universities committee that decides on the visual identity of the institution. The key goal here is to choose a font that you can make work, but nobody else can and then make sure that is rolled out systemwide.

The discovery of regulatory T-cells may seem an obscure bit of biology to win such an esteemed prize. It is not. It is an excellent example of physiology leading to medicine in the way the prize’s double name alludes to

A Nobel prize in physiology for immune tolerance

The search to understand how the body keeps immunity in check

I do biomedical research to help people. When people come in this space making things up, it makes it harder for people not in the field to trust the extensive studies that we do and distinguish fact from fiction. Baseless claims reduce future cures. Willful ignorance drives us backwards.

First we created a culture where you don't have to understand basic statistical ideas and methods to analyze quantitative data from samples. This was a wonderful innovation, as it removed barriers to publishing whatever the fuck you wanted. Using "AI" to just invent the data is the next logical step

Julia M. Rohrer @dingdingpeng.the100.ci · 9d

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸

How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data.
