Three AI-powered steps to faster, smarter peer review Tired of spending countless hours on peer reviews? An AI-assisted workflow could help.

Nothing to see here, just Nature advocating LLM peer review.

ALT-TEXT: Screenshot of top of Center for Humanities Communications’ news release on its new Mellon Foundation grant. Shown is text that reads: <screenshot> Center for Humanities Communication Receives $150,000 Mellon Foundation Grant to Start Work Feb. 2, 2025 — How can scholars, creatives, and others working in the humanities better communicate their work to the public? How can humanities communicators–like their science communicator colleagues–benefit from professional training for needed roles in education, the media, cultural and entertainment industries, non-profits, and elsewhere? And what new materials and tools can they invent for telling the humanities’ story across platforms? To jump start the Center for Humanities Communication (CHC) in creating training and resources to address such questions, the Mellon Foundation has awarded the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) a grant of $150,000 to help launch the recently formed CHC. (The AAC&U supports the CHC as it establishes itself by acting as its fiscal sponsor.)

Happy to to announce that @mellonfoundation has awarded our Center for Humanities Communication (CHC) a $150,000 grant (via @aacu.org, which supports CHC in the role of our fiscal sponsor). Our news release: center-humanities-communication.org/chc-blog/new...

Among them sits guest speaker Hannes Bajohr (position 2). Image on the slide of the HUML home page shows an assemblage of a large red disk, a wooden spoked wheel half covered by what appears to be organic or natural fluff of some kind, and an apparently wooden mechanical artifact like an early analog computer.
