Trust in science will increase when we stop all the money being used to fund anti-science political attacks and spread disinformation.

I was stumped by the zoom setup yesterday so it’s not saying a lot
“astrophysicists stumped” yeah what else is new

every time the papers write “new discovery, astrophysicists don’t know what’s going on” they’re talking specifically about me

I wrote this article! 🙂

This is IMO one of the biggest discoveries of the year, but you haven’t heard about it bc of a NASA press release/embargo stuck bc of the shutdown. I however have no such constraint (we’re tracking it in radio but haven’t finished the paper) so got to write about it! 🔭🧪

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.
