Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

THIS.

Also, I can't help but think of Claudine Gay being forced out of the Harvard presidency over trumped-up accusations of plagiarism and tolerating antisemitism.

While Summers was questioning the intellectual capacity of women while president. And sexually harassed at least one woman.

Gummy bears should not have this many calories.

I am such a happy PI right now. My student is going to have an actual thesis!

Trying not to internally freak out from excitement because the first few samples look pretty decent.

Is this the equivalent of Elon asking people to print out the code they had written for the day?

We're currently running code to estimate read depth on our low coverage whole genome samples and I'm beyond nervous.

I was just reminded that I've been at this university for 10 years and now I feel old.

This is perfect. Thanks!

Thanks!!

Does anyone know the proportion of ecology PhDs that go into industry? Also, what type of industry do they normally go into?

I need someone to give me $70K a year so I can hire someone for the next 5 years. Please?

Laura Loomer tweet saying GOP has a Nazi problem.

I can no longer follow the plot of this show. I suspect the writers and actors can’t either. I don’t think they have a show runner.

Hill I will die on: Unhappy lab members result in unhappy data. Treat your people well and they will care about the work they produce.

Yep. After dealing with chronic hip/back pain, being able to focus on pain in a different location was a relief.

Not going to lie, tattoo pain is really therapeutic. Not sure what that says about me.

Royal Society B cover with AI generated image of endocasts.

AI slop gracing the cover of Royal Society B. Not only in AI yellow but scientifically nonsensical. Come on. I'm certain human photographs and artworks were ignored to platform ... this.

Larry Summers, who believes that women have lower “IQ,” should never see the inside of a classroom again.

And consider implications of a misguided poser like this influencing artificial intelligence decisions.

Again, can you imagine if a writer of color, a Black reporter specifically, did what Olivia Nuzzi did, what would happen to her career?

Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?

It's a big club and we ain't in it.

Tattoo of a boy and girl standing in the rain. The boy is standing behind the girl and holding her around the shoulders. She is holding a closed umbrella. The tattoo is black/grey and the individuals are in a manga/anime style.

They are done and I love them. 🥰

No but I'm a weakling and I've only ever sat for ~30 min .This one may be about 2-3 hrs (?) so I'm over-prepping.

An image of snacks and drinks that include: 2 bottles of lemon-lime gatorade, one can of coke, a bag of gummy bears/worms, a bag of sour gummies, and an oatmeal bar.

Realizing that tattoo prep and marathon prep are basically the same thing.

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.

I'm so excited to get my tattoo tomorrow, just so I can get my obsessive brain back.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

lol sorry to break it to you but America does not like women

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!"

Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource.

When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.
