Academics, has anyone ever logged in to "Editorial Manager" without having to reset the password? I wonder if has happened even once, in the whole history of ever.

There are a lot of "how to use ChatGPT for productivity" threads. Some are probably written by GPT as part of people's self-promotion strategies. I use it for fun: Recipes. Ask it to include an unusual ingredient. Black beans in brownies, anyone?

Unfortunately it is not good at "give me a song about [friend] in the rhythm of a Christmas carol". Or, gpt-3.5 was not good at that, haven't tried 4.

Here's another one: book recommendations. I described a series I liked, and why. Then I had a conversation with chatGPT about other books, refining its list with "no, not so much like this, more like that" and "right, I *did* like that!". Worked better than goodreads.

OMG Canadian funders: I have filled in the self-identification survey a zillion times. Y'all know my PIN. I'll say if my ethnicity changes, or anything else about my identity. Assume that my age goes up by 1 year per year. If you don't hear, assume no change. Yes?

Seeing a lot of folk tweeting about monkeypox. Some are experts on COVID19 but not all have experience of emerging disease outbreak investigation. So here are some thoughts. - It’s not Covid - Control will be different 1/n

Great PhD opportunity here!
I am recruiting a PhD student to model the evolutionary dynamics of antibiotic resistance! The project involves statistical and mathematical modelling and a super cool dataset we are collecting on E. coli carriage in infants. Link to more info below.

Warning: a few too many good valentine's days, and 13 years later, you find yourself spending the evening of Feb 14 wrangling science fair data in R and ridding your fridge of the ageing remains of a comparative buttercream exercise.
