I've been editing books for 20 years, and in that time I've learned: what you need when you edit (or your work is edited) is compassion. Editing really doesn't have to be merciless, ruthless. It can gently polish. #writesky #writersky #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #editing

Today I asked AI to summarise an academic paper. The actual results were the opposite to what was hypothesised (and to what others had shown). The AI summary assumed the study had found what everyone else had found. Hot tip: don’t use a stochastic parrot to summarise an outlier paper. #academicsky 🧪

If only methods sections were like this: "I almost got permission to film a hamster, but the mother of the hamster’s family was trying to keep her nine-year-old off TikTok and thought it would be pedagogically difficult to argue that the hamster could be on it but not the child." #research #scipub

A permission slip for writers: “It’s also okay to follow your aesthetic preferences if/when a word looks odd to you on the page and a hyphen will help. After all, punctuation is about helping readers not get distracted from the content of the text.” —Anne Curzan #mededitreads #amwriting #amediting

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

"AI" uses em-dashes because the writers whose (appropriated) work it's trained on use them. I use them a lot, personally, and of course just about everything I've ever written was chucked into the training bin without my consent or assent. So, you know, whenever you see an "AI" em-dash, think of me.

Great piece on how publication delays negatively impact careers and the pace of science. We just had a reviewer ask us why it's taken us so long to publish our data. It was because 2 other journals dragged review out for months and months only to reject it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
