Always a good day when I get to help a box turtle cross the road. It was a busy intersection , so I drove him down the road to a pond. #wildlife

@noracodes@tenforward.social not sure if this is what you are looking for. Perhaps more technical https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev.micro.61.080706.093302

RE: @Psy_Fer_@genomic.social

Just donated - please consider doing the same to support the #genomics #bioinformatics communities on Mastodon!

I have really enjoyed genomics.social in the ~3.5 years I've been here.

Thank you for hosting all this time @Psy_Fer_@genomic.social !

I'm happy that I bought these window-attached bird feeders so that I could get such a close look at wonderful birds on the neighborhood.

@koen_hufkens @Guillawme @annakcroft @adredish "gamify" is it a good way to put it. It feels like there has been a big push too gamify all of academia/science in recent decades. Metrics, metrics, metrics...

@koen_hufkens @Guillawme @annakcroft @adredish the "rewards" options are always superficially appealing, but the incentives lead to strange behavior

Important comments that a good human reviewer would have provided, such as recommending alternative software, an alternative interpretation, etc, were completely absent. It struck me as pretty easy to identify reviews made this way. But if it wasn't an area that I was less familiar with, it may have required a bit more time to spot it.

Some colleagues have told me that reviews they received on manuscripts were likely AI-generated, so for journal club last week we asked Claude to write both a critical and a positive review of the paper we discussed. It was written by a former postdoc in the lab, so definitely a field familiar to us.

Both of the reviews we got were essentially fancy-sounding BS with no substance. It was simply a regurgitation of material discussed in the manuscript already.

Oat containers work pretty well for mushroom growing. Small enough to be manageable and good at keeping the moisture in.

@fossheim@front-end.social i noticed the same thing when I asked it questions about my niche field. The answers were worded curiously similar to my own writing style.
