Does anyone else think they are seeing post-acceptance editorial changes at proof stage which are error-prone and probably due to adoption of AI?

There are people who believe knowledge is about accumulating facts. Then there are people who realize knowledge is learning how to think about those facts. The former is transactional learning. The latter is real.
So our campus just announced the six undergraduate programs being put on the chopping block.
One of them is Philosophy.
Philosophy.
Can we be a university without offering a Philosophy major?

We have the tools to prevent sickness. The real denial is ignoring that high quality masks and vaccines reduce infections. This isn’t hard.

Hard-hitting truth-telling from UCL Prof Anthony Costello….
“The Covid Public Inquiry is a devastating critique of medical advisers, civil servants and politicians who led the UK to the worst public health disaster in a century. More than 230,000 deaths.”

This sums up the absurdity of the whole anti-vax argument.
Yes, every medicine comes with some level of risk.
But that risk is lower than that of not using the medicine.
It comes down to a simple question: do you want you (or your children) to take the small risk or the much higher one?

The health impact of a Covid infection was higher than the risks from the vaccine for teens and children - but it won't settle arguments over current vaccine policy

Adam Wagner asks questions for the CV/CEV families and receives entirely unsatisfactory answers from Whitty.
Whitty says they didn't see kids in late 2020 as CV any more, and that, somehow, kids could no longer pass covid onto their CV parents, at least not at "an epidemiological level" 🤔

He's not an expert surgeon, but he is quite good with a chainsaw and has watched several series of House.

148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.
Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal.
There is so much waste happening.
