Neuroanatomy was a very hard course for me and I often wondered with frustration how my BRAIN could have such a hard time learning about BRAIN and this is basically that

Also the kids who didn't talk to the professor because they were embarrassed 🙋🏻‍♀️

It really made me miss Boston and Cambridge!

Neo-Nazis have shut down the entire federal funding office for social and behavioral sciences so they can spread election, war, and health disinformation without accountability, and we have to suffer the final indignity of the tongue-in-cheek lie we might be able to debate them into decency

I have always been someone who thinks best in dialogue, which is hard because my area is an extremely tiny niche – I don't think there is any individual whose expertise entirely overlaps with mine – and access to LMs as "dialectical machines" (or suped up rubber ducks) has helped me tremendously.

This is how I use them in academia, personally.

The essential difference between scientific debates and culture war debates is a single norm: we all agree to pack it in if we lose an argument on the merits. This basically single-handedly explains scientists’ failure to meet the moment: we think we’re scoring points with reason and cleverness

I think "Lovefool" is overdue to have its Tiktok-fueled Gen Z revival. You heard it here first.

We really are in a second renaissance. Empiricists and rationalists and romantics are all at each other's throats!

Well the basic stuff we can manufacture here on Earth but the advanced technology like Nerds Gummy Clusters come from the High Beyond

A consideration in evaluating a research proposal in an ethical gray area – the most generous way to describe this, I think – is whether it could be performed with an alternative approach. And this EASILY could have, because there are real published studies that have been found to be falsified.

I've deleted a couple of tweets about the ethical analysis that led to this study so I'm just going to say that I do not think it was ethical and if I were considering doing something that constitutes academic dishonesty there is no universe in which I wouldn't get institutional approval first.

In conclusion, 99% of the bad behavior people attribute to AI is clearly and directly attributable to a human standing nearby, thank you.

I wrote “I am alive” on a piece of paper, and placed it into a photocopier. What I saw next has shocking implications

A researcher knowingly preprinted misinformation in order to run an "experiment" of whether LLMs would resurface it as medical knowledge.

Academia has finally invented its own version of the classic meme.

Every time this monster debases himself and degrades the country he's meant to serve there is a secondary wave of injury when the people and institutions he has not explicitly captured nevertheless pretend that it didn't happen

A totally normal way to frame POTUS posting a snuff film, no notes

So not a single major daily chose to cover this at all? That's where we are? This wasn't news?

[dejectedly] I don't deserve to watch Hacks, I'm watching The Office

The dance scene in Sinners is the best recent example I can think of, I think, but that's still like... famous among people who see movies

It's always a good time to make sure you have video autoplay turned off on your social feeds

Damn I thought I was one of your reply guys but I guess I gotta pump those numbers up

Honestly...

Why This Matters This work helps doctors talk to families better and helps scientists do their studies better. It also helps me learn to be an even better researcher so I can keep helping sick people in the future!

I don't think you should use an LLM to write your grant but I do think you should ask an LLM to rewrite your Specific Aims at a kindergarten level because it is DELIGHTFUL.

Um... Love is a Battlefield?

I sleep in a nightmarish pit of my own making
