Concerning for sure though I found this quote in the discussion reassuring: “…in the year 2023, the Scopus database included 2,511,962 scientific publications…compared to the number of 89 articles…the problem discussed constitutes only 0.000035% of the total”
I've seen this in my students' papers and I'm horrified (but not surprised) that the same trademarks of AI are showing up in published lit. This read is 100% worth some of your Friday time.

Science sleuths flag hundreds of papers that use AI without disclosing it

Check out this amazing dataset! Size spectra are key for understanding community-level impacts of environmental change. Fragmented literature + nuances in the analyses have hindered direct comparisons within / across ecosystem types. This standardized, open-source dataset enables those comparisons 😊

The viridis palettes are great perceptually uniform color maps for #dataviz, but sometimes at the extremes they're too pale/dark. With ggplot and #rstats, though, you can truncate the palette to avoid the paler colors. I wrote a little guide for how datavizf24.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2024-12...
