Earlier this year Jane Evans ran an informal LinkedIn experiment: 2 women & 2 men, posted identical content at the same time. The women had a combined 154K followers, the men had only 9,389. Guess who got the highest reach? Yep, the men.

Bro boost: women say their LinkedIn traffic increases if they pretend to be men
Collective experiment found switching profile to ‘male’ and ‘bro-coding’ text led to big increase in reach, though site denies favouring posts by men

I tried the updated Gemini image generator on scientific related image prompts that have failed in the past and I am really impressed by the quality of the outputs. The first is drawing a diagram for a pocket prediction algorithm using Voronoi diagram, Delaunay triangulation and alpha shapes

Brrrr! Bacterial cells “bundle up” for winter, turning on a set of seasonal genes that changes the molecular composition of their cell membranes.🧣
Even a Single Bacterial Cell Can Sense the Seasons Changing | Quanta Magazine
Though they live only a few hours before dividing, bacteria can anticipate the approach of cold weather and prepare for it. The discovery suggests that seasonal tracking is fundamental to life.

Analytical chemistry has become extremely automated in the last 25 years, and yet shit continues to break in new and befuddling ways that AI can’t possibly parse. The “datasets” for it to learn instrument repairs from exist in the minds of experts and are significantly vibes-based.
A fair question is how much of a day's work could be outsourced to a machine? As I've become proficient with AI tools, I find that much of what takes me time (but not deep cognitive effort) can be automated. PhDs are hired, at least in part, for their thinking skills. Not all jobs require them.
