We love Reviewer 2, but he frightens us 🫣.

... are you our Reviewer 2 this time 👀?

You know you are in trouble when Reviewer 2 starts by saying that they have '𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙'. 🧫 🦠🧪

Location in the digestive tract matters!

💩 microbiota ≠ duodenal microbiota

As our understanding of the effect of the #microbiome in #PSC grows, it beomes more nuanced.

Some people can't even do a proper copy-paste 🤷‍♀️

😂😂 not sure it will enhance it significantly but go ahead 😂

Agora2 ? I’m not a specialist in the field but I am very interested by this subject and what you will find 😅

We are currently discussing in the lab putting all our codes on github before publication, as you can understand, it makes me nervous that the code could be retrieved by someone even in private mode before the studies are published 😅 and I would like to send the original post to my colleagues.

1/2. a few month ago, I saw someone her and/or on Linkedin telling that he discovered that his private code on github was stolen and used in a paper not acknowledging him. I can't find it, does someone remember this and send me the link to the original post ? #science

This a nice piece of work from a mechanistic point of view, but considering the detrimental effect of Peptostreptococcus anaerobius on colorectal carcinogenesis and resistance to immuno-therapies, do we know if other bacteria have a similar hability to ferment proline ?

What if We Can't Rely on PubMed? - Absolutely Maybe PubMed is incredibly reliable. And a lot depends on it. It’s an ecosystem built around MEDLINE, the steady feed of new publications…

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally:

📢Sarah Lebeer (@sarahlebeer.bsky.social) and colleagues at the Isala team call for a more comprehensive, global, and inclusive understanding of the #vaginal #microbiome, critically reflecting on the use of 'race' and 'ethnicity' in studies.

Nope, our holidays are not their priority. Last summer a 5th sept deadline from the ANR screwed up my summer holidays 😭. Hope you got the grant (I didn’t 🫠)

Ho I could 100% have missed it 😬😇.

I hope so… but if they decide to give me money they can take as long as they want 😂

ChatGPT 4.o QUERY: Improve this: "Ask an LLM to rephrase an awkward sentence. You can judge for yourself whether its suggestion improves your original text." RESPONSE: "Ask a language model to rephrase an awkward sentence and see if the result enhances your original wording. You can decide for yourself if its suggestion is an improvement."

Many of my students and a few of my colleagues run their writing through an LLM to improve the prose.

LLMs can make bad writing better, but they can just as easily make decent writing worse. Note the lack of flow and the added redundancy in the example below.

J'en ai PLEIN LE FIAK de voir les gens foutre de l'IA partout même s'il y en a pas besoin, puis de casser les miches aux gens un peu réfractaires en mode "Ohlala c'est juste un outil ce qui est important c'est comment on s'en sert".
