Well this is a new one. The AI generated figures really should raised a flag for someone. On another note, this is not the kind of news article you want popping up in your paper’s metrics 🧪🤖 #AcademicSky
Scientists aghast at bizarre AI rat with huge genitals in peer-reviewed article
It's unclear how such egregiously bad images made it through peer-review.

To clarify for those not in UK academia: this means no foreigners qualify to even apply for museum jobs, anything in heritage or libraries, junior fac jobs, UK postdocs, all are entirely out of the question.
And do that math outside academia- no foreign nurses, teachers, and on and on.

Rishi Sunak has stated he'll increase the salary threshold for migrants to the UK from £26k to £38k.
If that threshold had been in place in 2021, when I started in the UK as a university lecturer, I wouldn't have met it. The average migrant has no chance, and that's the point.

The most interesting thing about the Lascaux Caves is that the kid who discovered them in 1940 had a dog name Robot. The Asimov stories had not been published yet, so I just want to know how this super-rural French kid read and loved an obscure Czech play from 1920.

Many researchers in cognitive neuroscience and deep learning seem to assume that inference in the brain is hierarchical.
Our new Nature Reviews Neuroscience paper questions this assumption and proposes the shallow brain hypothesis.
