Skepticism isn’t negativity, cynicism, or denial. It’s simply proportioning our beliefs to the evidence. We’re all trying to figure things out… so have empathy for those who are misled and “temper our criticism with kindness.” #CarlSagan #Sagan

Trying to figure out why science journalism is weak. Is its weakness that it treats scientific stories as news pegs or hooks, diving into surface-level excitement instead of deeper exploration? #scicomm #sciencejournalism #hastygeneralization

AI companies aren't transparent enough. A report finds serious flaws in how companies develop, operate, and utilize their AI models, which harms public interest, communication, and science.

The companies behind today’s AI systems aren’t transparent enough. It may ultimately harm science, policy-making, content creators, and users. #ChatGPT #opensource #transparency #AImodel

The best way to open people's minds isn't to argue with them. It's to listen to them. When people feel understood, they become less defensive and more reflective—and develop less extreme, more nuanced views. Productive disagreements begin with curiosity, not persuasion.
