Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.
Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Absolutely wild to me that this guy gets a heroic feature in the NY Times when his clearly articulated climate policy throughout has been "let's not do a single thing to reach the previous government's climate targets but just keep them on the books anyway to point at in case anyone asks".

Järjestö: UPM keitti harvinaisesta luonnonmetsästä sellua – jäi kiinni, kun aktivistit seurasivat puukuormaa
Greenpeace ja Metsäliike käyttivät teknistä paikannusta puukuormien paikannuksessa. Yle on nähnyt paikannustiedot ja varmistanut, minne puu on mennyt.

How many times did Israel deny doing this? And how many times did politicians, journalists and pundits online suggest that saying that Israel was doing anything other than the most "moral warfare" was rank antisemitism?
IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.
Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

I just reviewed an obviously AI-generated manuscript. Dear editors, these are not difficult to identify. Please spare your reviewers. We are already overworked, and if you send us AI-bullshit, we are forced to spend time explaining why the paper should be rejected. You could simply desk reject it.

Kirjoitin taas kolumnin. Toimittaja Taina Vuokko keksi, että tässähän pitää luoda aihetunniste #mikseitätäoletutkittu .(Oikeasti vain edelleen haluan, että joku osaava yhteiskuntatieteilijä kiinnostuu noista aiheista.) www.tieteessatapahtuu.fi/numerot/3-20...
Miksei tätä ole tutkittu?
Tieteessä tapahtuu -lehti kokoaa yhteen eri tieteenalat. Se on foorumi ajankohtaisille ja yleistajuisille tiedeartikkeleille sekä keskustelulle tieteestä ja tiedepolitiikasta.
