The goal is clearly to marginalize the (previously) independent voices of NIH institute directors, and centralize all communication through the NIH Director's office. Required for Bhattacharya's pivot away from science and towards RFKJr style Lysenkoism.

Does the journal have rules or guidelines about using AI in review? Do you think the reviewer followed them? Certainly something to raise with your editor.

National Weather Service statement: ...POWERFUL KONA STORM TO IMPACT THE STATE THIS WEEK... A powerful kona storm will begin to impact the state as early as Tuesday for the western end of the state and spread across the state on Wednesday. While flash flooding is a major concern (more details can be found on our Hydrologic Outlook ESFHFO), there is increasing confidence for strong to severe thunderstorms on Wednesday especially for the western half of the state. Damaging winds will likely be the greatest threat with any of the strong thunderstorms, but large hail can`t be ruled out either. While details remain uncertain beyond Wednesday, a much stronger wave of thunderstorms and damaging kona winds may be possible Friday into the weekend.

Psychoanalytic analysis of LLMs turns out to be interesting. Suggests the possibility of a neural network model of unconscious processing like repression.
Itβs even worse than that, because the administrationβs policies have radically contracted admissions to PhD programs.
Not only have they gotten rid of PhDs, theyβve bombed the pipeline of folks who might one day replace them. Itβs scientific infrastructure terrorism.
If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.
donβt forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, youβre free
The LLM you use to code was trained on the open net, so weird security risks from hidden cryptocurrency mining just show up every now and then.

Ok this is part of the HHS competency framework and it is some bullshit.
Literally anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist, or " health coach". There is no certification for this and RFK Jr. wants medical students to learn how to integrate woo into their curriculum.

Informative thread...
I have so many examples of students questioning whether I know enough about a topic to teach it. I asked in faculty meeting "who has been questioned whether they are qualified to teach a class?" The women raised their hands, the men didn't. It's definitely rooted in sexism and racism.
