this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

it took almost 50 YEARS of travel time to reach that distance and will be the first human-made object to reach this distance.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

Friends, it’s never been more important for scientists to break out of the ivory tower and engage with the public.
My course- which you can take for graduate school course credit, continuing professional education credit, or just to learn a new skill- can help.
Please share!
