I've had AI-generated essays submitted (in a bio class) with imaginary data!

they also read a lot of current genetic ELSI science journalism... but I **love** the idea of talking about the jeans commercial, not surprised that got a lot of engagement!

I wonder if it would be worth putting together a central repository of resources/current event topics on this (if one doesn't exist?)
My class was (until recently) "Biostatistics and Human Genetics" and I borrowed a lot from @petrelharp.bsky.social (uo-biostats.github.io/UO_ABS/CLASS...)

of course the fundamental issue of any kind of medical procedures in an extremely coercive context like ICE custody is still there, and makes it super hard to properly investigate and document violations - I really wish there were more of an actual effort to do this in the 4 years that followed this

I think this is important context:
www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...
(the case is from 2020) - it sounds like at least some of the claims aren't true, at least enough so that I'm probably not including it in my eugenics lecture anymore

ok THIS is what you do with tenure
