📣 Dear #CitizenScience crowd! 📣 This October (5+6), we are organizing a SYMPOSIUM in collab with @pcstnetwork.bsky.social at the wonderful @mfnberlin.bsky.social in Berlin. We welcome PRACTICAL and RESEARCH perspectives on "Building Knowledge Together: #CitizenScience, #Communication & #Trust".
Today at #24hPolPsy, our team - the #SciReLab (@zpid.bsky.social) - got to share some recent research on #science, #politics and #trust in three talks (🧵👇🏼). Looking forward to further engaging and discussing this tomorrow! 🤩

Wie erleben Sie Ihren Menstruationszyklus? @univie.ac.at Masterstudentin Nesa Rexhepi sucht (Cis-)Frauen ab 18 Jahren aus Österreich, die in den letzten 12 Monaten mindestens einmal menstruiert haben und die keine hormonelle Verhütung verwenden, für ihre Studie: sosci.univie.ac.at/UmgangMenstr...
Stop submitting AI slop to journals and preprint servers
This is anti-social behavior. It is making life harder for everyone involved except for the person submitting the slop
Figure 1 from a paper published in Nature (linked in post). The figure purports to be an infographic depiction of the "Overall working of the framework" for 'explainably' diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. The infographic is plainly nonsense, containing many spelling errors, nonsense words, meaningless images and graphs. Clearly created using generative AI and (crucially) NEVER CHECKED AT ANY STEP OF THE WRITING OR PUBLICATION PROCESS.
Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Schauen wir weiter auf die Daten, so wie hier.

Ob Rauchverbot, Tempolimit oder Zuckersteuer – viele Menschen sind erstmal dagegen. Eine neue Studie unter Leitung der #univie @robertboehm.bsky.social & @tum.de zeigt: Der größte Widerstand gegen systemische Eingriffe entsteht vor der Einführung. Nach ihrer Umsetzung sinkt die Ablehnung deutlich. ⤵️
