What an honor to represent Maastricht university and to highlight the impact of research on society. We (w Cedric Waterschoot) enjoyed talking about how scientists could inform how we see information online.

Do you have an alternative to facebook groups? I'd like to keep a community (monthly in person events) running, but do not want to force members to stay on Facebook (or pay or sell data for ads).

What would you answer if this was the review and authorship of grants? (Re: White text prompts in the submission; llms as summarizers)
Serious questions: 1. If a paper is found to have such hidden instructions, what should the consequences be? Just rejected or should publishers take additional action? 2. If reviewers are caught using LLMs, what should the consequences be? I propose a ban on submitting their own work for X years.

Also helpful to revisit lessons from cognitive engineering from Tim and Liz yesterday. On this slide some key scientists for a fun quiz, but also figured in the talk was an excellent reading list. Some concepts were also directly informing our Grey mirror exercise today.
