AI tools are spotting errors in research papers: inside a growing movement nature.com/articles/d4158…

I'm glad the issue of raw score comparisons across cohorts over time has finally hit a dataset besides the NAEP. In the PISA, PIAAC, etc., trends are eliminated by accounting for measurement non-invariance and demographic change. But very few people care to analyze correctly🧵

«Some researchers told Nature they felt pressured to back the FCC». «One persuasive argument for the FCC is that it can continue to support the large community of 15,000 researchers». Bad argument, colliders should not be built to produce salaries. nature.com/articles/d4158…

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants about COVID, leaving long COVID funding in limbo, according to an internal document I obtained. “Now that the pandemic is over, the grant funds are no longer necessary,” it says. My latest for nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

The ESA Gaia spacecraft was moved out to a graveyard orbit and decommissioned today — but much of its discoveries are yet to come. Here is a short 🧵 to recall milestones in the (still ongoing!) project

Good example of the collapsing to the mode thing I’m always talking about, how the latent space is actually quite small compared to the world. There are all kinds of idiosyncrasies and asymmetries in the original that are ironed away, replaced by bland slop around an eigenface.

Bryan Caplan Exactly! The world would be a much better place had Einstein designed car bumpers at Audi instead of working on silly stuff like general relativity. 🤦‍♀️

Will US science survive Trump 2.0? In just the first three months of his second term, President Donald Trump has destabilized eight decades of government support for science. (🧵1/2)

The US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is one of the most successful global health projects in history, financing about 70% of the overall HIV/AIDS response, and saving 26 million lives. What happens now that the programme's future is threatened? (1/3)

I find this so very odd. None of it is real! None of it happened! Nothing even particularly *like* it has happened! It's a good programme but you can't learn anything real from it. It is literally made up.

The vast majority over discoveries are low hanging fruit when they are made. The key to scientific progress is progressively making more fruit low-hanging. One of the deep problems we have in science is that we reward the people who pick the fruit rather than the ones who lower

All NIH employees and scientists continue to have and will continue to have full access to all scientific journals including those published by Springer Nature through the NIH library and the National Library of Medicine.
