Earlier, I posted a 🧵 about the articles that students liked in my graduate course on executive function (EF)👇.
In this new 🧵 (the last one based on this class, I promise!), I thought I'd share some of the thoughts I had while teaching this course. If you’re interested in EF, read on. (1/12)

I taught a graduate course on executive function (EF) in the spring. Before I forget, I thought I'd tell you about the readings students liked the best (at the end of the semester, I asked students to vote for their favorite papers, excl. any of mine). Here are the top vote getters. 🧵 (1/6)

So written by an LLM then. All of the LLMs still hallucinate in this way—making up citations, getting interpretations of papers wrong, etc. Good to know that the people making these decisions are not putting in the work and do not have the required expertise.

Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
