LA is on fire. How will Australia cope when bushfires hit Sydney, Melbourne or another major city?

I chatted to @stilgherrian.com about the research we've been doing with the International Space Station - it’s rather like a share house. We also wonder how you might develop a feminist map of the Moon. 🏺 🧪

🚨 I recently came across a weird case of #AI in #preprints, with implications for burdening #SciComm with AI-mediated #PredatoryPublishing

What did I find? Issues with the article, questionable behavior by the author, indexing problems, and AI's potential for streamlining predatory publishing.

Now, an unearthed university investigation confirms more of what these critics have been saying: www.science.org/content/arti...

This investigation included a study that involved hundreds of medical students providing samples—including rectal and vaginal swabs—apparently without ethical oversight.

A study in Nature presents a drug delivery system inspired by the ink-jet propulsion mechanisms of cephalopods, such as squid and cuttlefish. The approach could circumvent the need for needles to administer some types of medication and vaccines. https://go.nature.com/3CDuqnK 🧪

Your daily reminder: ChatGPT is not a search engine. It does not "know" anything: it smashes words together in plausible sounding way, but it does not have (and never will have) any ability to check whether something is true or false

Using it for anything beyond "re-word this headline" = failure
