Researcher disputes claim that multilingualism promotes better brain aging University of Houston professor of psychology Arturo Hernandez is disputing a high-profile study published in the journal Nature Aging claiming that people who live in multilingual countries show healthier brain aging.

La décision a été prise par les libéraux, que l'on peut difficilement accuser d'être contre l'immigration.

Cela est un procès d’intention. Il y a 5 ans à peine, cela n'était pas un problème et on accueillait les réfugiés à bras ouvert.

Mais, quand on arrivait plus à fournir, le réponse a été de crier au racisme plutôt que de reconnaître la réalité de la situation.

Je comprends votre réaction. Il y a cependant un problème dont personne ne parle : les faux réfugiés. Depuis que Trudeau a ouvert les vannes, il y a une quantité phénoménales de faux réfugiés qui sont entré au Canada.

Every single paper is like this. We couldn't reproduce the age-depth model in their second PNAS paper. They regularly report spikes from one layer without analyzing layers above and below. Their results can't be reproduced in the rare cases they do share samples. They get really basic things wrong.

Race, ethnicity don’t match genetic ancestry, according to a large U.S. study Data from the All of Us program confirm what many geneticists have long promoted

In case anyone needs a reminder, "geneticists have long established that race and ethnicity are sociocultural constructs and not good proxies to describe genetic differences in disease risks and traits among groups." www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org @rpocisv.bsky.social

AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.

"... a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article."

Rights over regulation? The moral case against legalised snake oil - The Skeptic Whenever regulating pseudoscience is raised, we can expect to hear the same objections – none of which justifies deceiving vulnerable people.

Microbes might be able to planet hop on asteroid shrapnel Experiment confirms bacteria could survive being blasted off world by impact

To simulate an asteroid impact in the lab, researchers put bacterial cells on a membrane and shot them with a gas-fired projectile that struck the microbes at up to 480 kilometers per hour. The bacteria largely shrugged off the cataclysm. Cool story by @jakebuehler.bsky.social at @science.org

Academics Need to Wake Up on AI Ten theses for folks who haven't noticed the ground shifting under their feet

Sorry, Bluesky, but I have to say it: AI can already do social science research better than most professors with PhDs. And, for the first time in my life, I really have no idea what happens in five years.

Things are changing already, we just need to wake up.

I give the point!
