My condolences :(

I have repeatedly encountered this false causality assumption from correlational findings with American psych researchers at conferences, some also in the context of research into cannabis use. This is supposed to be among the first things you learn in uni but they just throw it out the window.

That senior phd student should be named and shamed, no way this can be allowed to pass unchallenged.

sound ridiculous? shit like this is the reality for most people falling outside a hegemonic identity category

For Viagra we can imitate transgender "care" as it's done in many countries
1) 10+ mandatory counselling sessions
2) Mandatory trial period in which the patient must try to function with the ED
3) Waitlists a decade long because only 1 or 2 clinics do the above
4) and then you miiight get the pill

Not completely implausible, epigenetics is acknowledged to be a thing now. In fact, Darwin's finches have been shown to do their rapid evolution thru epigenetic de/activation of genes rather than thru slow natural selection of gene mutations.

In one of my recent papers I went a little overboard in the opposite direction. There are 4 or 5 paragraphs of future directions in there. It's nicer than delivering that useless oneliner but the paper also became wayyy too long.

What the fuck

We've known for 3 decades now that the premotor cortex also sends axons down the corticospinal tract, and I don't see that represented here.

I look up data quite often, one time I even did additional analyses on the data of a study because I was curious about an effect that the authors did not look into but which you could see in the graphs.

Woah! This is a very different style than before :o

This is just one way in which AI poisons the well for everyone, including non AI users.

That said, I see a lot of accusations on social media of people (especially artists) using AI. In reality often the person just... isn't so skilled, and it is just badly drawn art or written poetry. A student who knows R & sees the slide might feel they must use readr to evade that accusation

I have this issue at my workplace as well. I'm often called over to troubleshoot AI code that the person has no understanding of to begin with. IMO in science one should never trust any code that one cannot explain from start to finish, otherwise the result is more often than not wrong.
