Whoa - researchers at the @utaustin.bsky.social copied several panels of cells and blots from older papers authored in different labs.

Screenshot of two figures from two different papers. They both show fluorescent cells (green or red, or merged photos) against a black background. I marked two panels on the left and two on the right with pink and cyan boxes to show the duplicates.

Using AI to outsource intellectual processes is concerning. AI has made it easier for papermills, and if AI is applied to all of the publishing process, then rubbish will be published and erode public confidence or impact peoples health. AI is a tool, not a replacement for the intellectual process.

Friday essay: I work as a sensitivity reader – and racism is harder to spot than you’d think
We all know what racism looks like. It’s loud, it’s angry, it’s terrifying. But when it’s hidden in imagery and connotations, it’s much more sinister.
