This but also as a journal editor, it's depressing how much time we have to spend trying to police research misconduct now. Especially as for the AI stuff there's no consequences.
The AI authorship issue is real. We've caught papers that looked OK but had references to works by the *journal editors* that *do not exist*. Like, don't send us papers citing papers we know we didn't write, right?

After last year's bus + ferry + 4 x trains trek to Trento, getting on a direct train to Liverpool for #uaces2025 feels like a bit of an anti-climax!

This is great reading. It offers a very limited hope that European defence may ever work, but it does not rule it out entirely, so that's a relief. It's also slightly depressing research-wise. The complexity of it all almost prevents any meaningful understanding. In any case, go and read it!
