MORTALIDAD ATRIBUIBLE A CALOR EL PASADO VERANO:
4.480 por calor extremo, y 10.894 a calor moderado (es la que más crece).
Las exposiciones prolongadas a valores inferiores a los umbrales de calor extremo también matan (poblaciones vulnerables).

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

We need more "unfunded" research, not less. Or rather, we need more "core" funding and much less project based funding. Then universities can *invest* in core research infrastructure (including people), reduce precarity, and focus on growing and retaining talent.

Second day back to work after a month away is like the first real day back.

Yesterday was mostly spent laugh-crying maniacally at my to-do list and inbox.

"My AI therapist got me through dark times"

< in a competitive field, the notion of an AI 'therapist' may win the award for the most ignorant and inappropriate use of AI

At the heart of therapy is a human relationship. This is fundamentally not possible with an AI.

The anti-vaccine crowd say they just want to “see the evidence” in the form of placebo-controlled randomized trials.

But we've done these trials. And we know our vaccines work. Which is precisely why we can't use placebo to test better vaccines.
