It's not how easy it is to stream this, we want people to feel safe to say what they want. If you stream that all over the internet, it might be there forever. Better safe than sorry.

Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT:

“The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

Prof Gavin Yamey @gavinyamey.bsky.social · 16d

This MAGA/MAHA/Trump/RFK Jr/Dr Oz/Dr Bhattacharya press conference right now is quite possibly the worst press conference—from the viewpoints of medicine, public health, & medical ethics—that I’ve ever seen. These men are so shameless & deeply irresponsible. Wherever happened to science & evidence?

Reviewers: Prepare for a tsunami of manuscripts made from low-quality [or even made-up] silicon samples in social science!

Can large language models stand in for human participants?
Many social scientists seem to think so, and are already using "silicon samples" in research.

One problem: depending on the analytic decisions made, you can basically get these samples to show any effect you want.

The threat of analytic flexibility in using large language models to simulate human data: A call to attention

Social scientists are now using large language models to create "silicon samples" - synthetic datasets intended to stand in for human respondents, aimed at revolutionising human subjects research. How...

Wat hebben Anne Frank, Hannie Schaft en de soldaten die in 1944 de Franse stranden bestormden gemeen?
Dat ze vandaag de dag door de @vvdonline.bsky.social als terroristen gezien zouden worden omdat ze antifascistisch waren.

The magnificent @deevybee.bsky.social gave a #fosci talk pointing out to the major issue in #scientificpublishing that corporations are desperately trying to ignore — the editors who let all the garbage in their prestigious journals 🎇

Wow, someone at the AHRC has a brass neck for treating their own grantees as "research quality".

Each HEI’s formula score is determined by two variables:

research staff (within arts and humanities), this is a proxy for research capacity

AHRC grant income, *this is a proxy for research quality*

Training and support within the Future Doctoral Provision Programme

AHRC has commissioned an engagement exercise to develop thinking around the future of doctoral provision in the arts and humanities.
