What do you consider to be "good research"? High impact publications? Work that translates well? Are you considering smaller projects that can be given to undergrads that helps inspire them to pursue a career in your field? Do you see the things that inspired you in your program?

Hey WashU friends! I'm presenting Emily Dawson's work, looking into how we define in and out groups in science communication participation and what we can do to counteract the exclusive language and behaviors we see currently (social reproduction). Stop by if you get a chance!

Can we make PowerPoints that easily convert to pdfs without animation problems if we're teaching classes? Having to edit the PowerPoint to make it pdf friendly for import into my note software is really not excellent

ChatGPT generates fake references to papers that don't exist. So, researchers at Stanford built Storm. It's an AI-powered app that generates well-researched articles with references to published sources. Here's how to use it:

Whyyyyy are we using AI to generate images that are a free Google search away. Let's not waste water and energy reinventing the wheel, yeah?

I get that we want to be trendy and know the student lingo but if I see another Dall-E image of an easily Googleable object (or something you can find at home and take a picture of) I am going to start sending people how much water they've wasted via email

Hot take with AI playing a major role in the Nobels this year: I think NSF and NIH should make people proposing AI projects to submit an energy usage estimate. How much energy will you burn on this and where does the data center you’re going to use draw power from?

Now that the Nobel prizes for biology, biology, and biology are announced, I can’t wait to see which biologists win for peace and literature!
