✏️ I wrote a small piece explaining why I decided to call myself a "metascience communicator." I hope it makes sense to somebody.

A Case for Becoming a “Metascience Communicator”

My academic Twitter feed seems to have completed its bifurcation into the X tribe and the Bsky tribe. It is sad, but it has the merit of knowing where to look depending on the topic.

One challenge in discussing AI’s impact on science is simply how broad the topic is. “AI” is vast, and so is “science.” Hoping to contribute to a meaningful discussion, I’ve sketched a preliminary taxonomy for the discourse on AI in science.

「気候変動って人類の存続を脅かすほどヤバいの? 専門家に聞きました」GIZMODO

俺はすでに存続を脅かされているが…(猛暑で)という人も多そうだが、5人の専門家が口を揃えて気候変動のヤバさを解説。
社会構造を歪ませ複合的な壊滅を引き起こす、まさにラスボス級の脅威。
気候学者のマイケル・マン(映画監督ではない)も
「気候危機、致命的なパンデミック、そしてもっとも深刻なのが、こうした危機に対処する能力を奪ってしまう反科学と偽情報の横行です。」
と言ってるしマジで今後100年くらいは心ある人類は反科学&偽情報との総力戦に身を投じてくれ

気候変動って人類の存続を脅かすほどヤバいの? 専門家に聞きました
このまま何もしなければ、答えはイエスかな。たとえば、明日突然、直径100kmの小惑星が衝突したとしたら。地球は過酷な環境でも生き残れる極限環境微生物を除く生き物が暮らせる場所ではなくなるでしょう。私たち人類はその衝撃で一瞬にして絶滅してしまいます。一部の専門家は、人類が絶滅するような出来事を「人類存続に関わる脅威(existential threat)」と定義してきました。ところが、最近は定義が
