I added a cite while you write function to our editor @simplifine.bsky.social - whatever you have in your Library, you can cite directly by pressing `(` and typing in the author names or the paper name :) #research #phd #academia

Nevermind #AI diagnosing patients at the stroke of a mouse or creating the most beautiful works of art "in the style of" My horse for an #AI that will correct a #bibliography accurately through the reference manager in seconds 😫 #PhDlife

Spotted on Reddit, Inc.! A senior researcher asking for everything we built into @simplifine.bsky.social simplifine.com #Research #Academia #Academy #Faculty #PhD

6 percent chance to end all this madness

I think the biggest lie being told right now is that one of the wealthiest countries in the world cannot afford to invest in science, education, and the environment.

Working on our new duplicate merging tool for @simplifine.bsky.social free reference manager How can we make your reference management experience better? #referencemanagement #academia #research #citation

PhDs, send your requests! This week, I received a ton of requests for the research app I am building @simplifine.bsky.social Here are 5 of the updates we have for today: - Search across domains & indices - Easy export/import in ref manager - PDF outline - PDF tagging - Cite while you write

completely agree - negative studies are incredibly important but do not get the credit they are due

Hello Bluesky #academia. I am building a Reference Management tool that is free, and I would love some feedback. Our goal is to connect all steps of academic research (from exploration of ideas, finding relevant papers, reading, note-keeping, etc) in a single place for every researcher.

In Boston/Cambridge and Yale this week. I am getting free coffee for any PhD, PostDoc, and Prof who has 15 mins to chat about their research:)) Reach out here if you have time & would love to meet at your favourite coffee!

What do you find to be the best (and worst?) parts of the academic community moving over to Bluesky? I personally enjoy the more friendly community here and the lack of algorithm baiting, but do feel like it is a bit insular and could limit our reach to the general public. 🧪 #AcademicSky

Something exciting is coming: our very first Chrome extension! Designed to bring research tools straight to your browser. simplifine.com

Building a free ai co-pilot for researchers - id love to talk to phd/postdoc/faculty s out there to make it better & more accessible for everyone. Please drop a comment for a DM if you are interested in having Iron Man’s JARVIS for your research!! Thank you

#Research can be easier. Find information, Read, Note and highlight, Chat with papers, Organize your findings All in one place. Simplifine keeps everything connected in one place. simplifine.com

After many weeks and multiple retries, TweetDelete has finally erased my entire postings (60,000 of them) on X. I felt sick just going back to check. So grateful to the creators of this platform for giving us the tools to recreate and improve our town square.

Research workflows can be a real challenge. I wrote a Medium post explores how Simplifine can simplify this process. https://medium.com/simplifine/ai-in-research-revolutionizing-how-we-work-with-data-c0cf6cc34ba4

What’s your biggest pain point when starting a new research project? We’ve been working to address research needs with thoughtful solutions built for researchers by researchers.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Pasteur wasn’t such an old fool.

I will reply to this thread after I read this.

What is a starter pack you wish existed?

Started reading The Beauty of Everyday Things by Soetsu Yanagi. It has been on my mind since the first time I saw this book at The Strand.

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit. Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention. Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

Today I learned that the entire bar is not 1 serving.

"ICC Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu vs. Putin: A Case Study in US Hypocrisy" The hysterical and hypocritical response to the ICC warrants today shows Washington DC is "this weird fantasy land where Israel can simply do no wrong," @mattduss.bsky.social tells Zeteo's @premthakker.bsky.social.

Some recent sunsets! 🌅 #embroidery

Sharing Baldwin is cool but reading is cooler. Quote is not from James Baldwin. It is from Robert Jones, JR. and here is the proof: www.sonofbaldwin.com/wp-content/u...

I do not fully comprehend this platforms stance against AI yet. More educational material on new technology should be published in a way that people are receptive.

If civil war breaks out, meet up at the library. They don’t know where that is.

This cardigan is called Teams. Every square is a meeting that could have been an email. It’s actually Teams Mk II as its predecessor had a bad experience with the washing machine. #knitting 🧶
