Here's mine!

I'm looking forward to seeing Wicked again today! I've been thinking about this movie a lot. It was so memorable and thought provoking.

Grammarly is derided by many editors. Their new tool, Grammarly Authorship, aims to prove the provenance of text (e.g., AI-generated text versus your own writing).

It's in beta testing, so time will tell how accurate and used this tool is compared with other AI-detecting tools.

I attended my first in-person event with editors last night in San Francisco! We learned about the ethics of AI from Amy Frushour Kelly and Erin Servais.

Thanks to the organizers: Bay Area Editors' Forum and the SF/Bay Area Chapter of the Editorial Freelancers Association.

Thanks for sharing, @kyrafreestar.bsky.social! I enjoyed Steven Pinker's "The Language Instinct" many years ago and have two of his other books on our shelves.

Thanks for sharing this book! I'll have to check it out. My to-read pile next to my bed grows ever higher :)

I would love to be included in your starter pack (1 or 2) as well. Thank you for setting these up. They are super helpful!

A bookshelf with 11 books related to editing, grant writing, and communicating science.

I edited an article where the authors were citing undergraduate-level biology textbooks for well-known facts about proteins! I suggested that they could remove the references to basic scientific knowledge!
