Even ChatGPT o.3 hallucinates papers when asked to do this. Submitting a narrative CV that includes papers that you didn't write and don't exist strikes me as a serious, actionable instance of academic misconduct. TERRIBLE ADVICE from Andrew's office of research services.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

This is what’s needed. Intelligent people witnessing the dangerous consequences of foolish gutting of important agencies and both warning the public and urging them to call their representatives. Next we likely need meteorologists leading street protests.

RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

Healey's "they've made mistakes" rhetoric is weak. No, Governor Healey, ICE is trying to terrorize immigrant communities, and you have been doing next nothing to stand up for them. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...

It's not comforting to realize that the United States -- which fared much worse in pandemic deaths per population than most other wealthy countries -- will end up being much, much less prepared for the next pandemic

Must just be some kind of wild coincidence that local cops are attacking actions that aim to prevent ICE abduction

A program officer [said that Trump’s NIH Director Bhattacharya] “is in over his head but lacks the self-awareness to know that.” Another staffer said he came across like someone who “never learned how to be called out for being incorrect.” Exactly. Great piece. Must-read. 🧪

This is why medical expertise matters and why it is demonstrably fatal to have health agencies run by unqualified hacks who value their grifts and political ideologies over empiricism.

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Silicon Valley is a factory generating a million guys a year braying "the problem with every public good is that I'm not making money off it, and this app fixes that" and people still wonder why capitalism must be destroyed

With the rapid expansion of the police state, I feel like make-up artistry is going to be an extremely important skill to develop for protests and the greater resistance.

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

In 1938, a stateless Jewish teenager in Paris named Herschel Grynszpan went into the German embassy and shot a diplomat from the Nazi regime. He was arrested and disappeared. The Nazis used this action as the pretext for Kristallnacht, the most famous pogrom in history.

Looking into the samples used in songs I like always just blows my mind. I cannot imagine having such a diverse musical encyclopedia that someone could just pull a 3 second segment from song made by a performer I've never heard of and turn it into a memorable hook.

Between this and the Venezuelan TPS ruling, #SCOTUS has now cleared the way for removing more than one million non-citizens who, until now, were legally protected against removal. This also ratchets up the stakes in the "third-country" removal case, since many of these folks can't be sent home.

the people here probably already know this but really spread this far and wide: tell your normal offline friends and family to stop using ChatGPT for legal advice. it's happening constantly now. I'm always explaining to people why the advice this silly thing gave them is not real legal advice.
