A feature in Nature examines the debate among researchers over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning and how to remedy the problem. 🧪
Are groundbreaking science discoveries becoming harder to find?

Interesting- I tend to emphasize the utility of LLMs as a tool- ChatGPT and NotebookLM have become very helpful to articulate some of my newer ideas. I think the ambiguity comes from the types of prompts individuals use. “Write my paper” is different than “organize these thoughts in an outline.”
Nature posed a variety of scenarios to 5,000 academics around the world to understand which uses of AI are considered ethically acceptable. The survey results suggest that researchers are sharply divided on what they feel are appropriate practices. #Academicsky 🧪

U.S. government researchers present 'phenomenal' new data on HPV vaccines
A new study seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent HPV infection is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer.
