You want to collect insects (and maybe other arthropods) for reference genome sequencing, but don't want to spend a fortune on dry ice shipping!

All you gotta do is SQUISH. THAT. BUG!

More details in our recent preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
a silly #SciArt redraw of the squish that cat meme, but it is a grey stickfigure squishing a mosquito (that looks like a little cat) with the text SQUISH THAT BUG!

I think this is another sign of the huge disconnect between scientists and the public. If you are willing to use known plagiarism machines to write a paper, THEN NOT EVEN DISCLOSE IT, how is the public supposed to trust you haven't plagiarised or straight up "made up" your data and results?

Would you use AI to write a research paper?
Would you use AI in peer review?
Would you disclose it if you had?

We asked 5000 researchers these questions. What do you think of their answers?

You can read the full survey results here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
A graphic titled "experiences with using AI to write papers". Bar charts showed the following results: 18% have used AI to edit their paper without disclosing AI use 10% have used AI to edit their paper and disclosed AI use 43% have not used AI to edit their paper but would be willing to 29% have not used AI to edit their paper and would not consider it 4% have used AI to translate a paper and not disclosed AI use 4% have used AI to translate a paper and disclosed AI use 43% have not used AI to translate have not used AI to translate a paper but would be willing to 49% have not used AI to translate a paper and would not consider it 4% have used AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work and not disclosed AI use 4% have used AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work and disclosed AI use 35% have not used AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work, but have considered it 57% would not consider using AI to make summaries of other papers to use in own work 4% have used AI to write a first draft of paper without disclosing use 4% have used AI to write a first draft of a paper and disclosed use 29% have not used AI to write a first draft of a paper, but would consider it 63% have never used AI to write a first draft of a paper, and would never consider it

doctor dog treating sick cat, 15th century
a medieval drawing of a dog standing upright wearing a hood and holding a bottle. beside him is a cat laying in bed wearing what looks like a nightcap. both have distraught expressions on their faces.
