What ChatGPT and generative AI mean for science
#AI #ChatGPT #STEM #medicalwriters
A new article from @Nature.
Many scientists are using ChatGPT to increase productivity, but others remain wary. “If you believe that this technology has the potential to be transformative, then I think you have to be nervous about it,” says computational biologist

'The results obtained suggest that the peer review system is not substantially better than random selection in identifying the best candidates once an initial pre-selection of the most promising ones is performed.'
"On 3 February 2023, EMA, the Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) and the European Commission (EC) are launching a public consultation on the establishment of a multi-stakeholder platform to improve clinical trials in the European Union (EU). The multi-stakeholder platform is a deliverable of the joint initiative Accelerating Clinical Trials in the EU (ACT EU)."
'A total of 822 participants underwent randomization, and 771 received VV116 (384 participants) or nirmatrelvir–ritonavir (387 participants). The noninferiority of VV116 to nirmatrelvir–ritonavir with respect to the time to sustained clinical recovery was established in the primary analysis'

'In 1879 in a private letter to Joseph Hooker, Charles Darwin grumbled1: “The rapid development as far as we can judge of all the higher plants within recent geological times is an abominable mystery.” Although this abominable mystery is often cited today, and sometimes declared solved, few realize that the mystery is deeper today than it was for Darwin.'

I'm posting the lecture slides for my ongoing course on Machine Learning for Climate Change here <https://lindsay-lab.github.io/teaching/>, if you want to follow along or incorporate any material into your own teaching.
Very much a work-in-progress though, so don't hold me liable for mistakes!

First thing the Republicans do when they get in charge is purge any experts or responsible ppl from interfering with their destructive, uninformed antics. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/02/politics/house-vote-ilhan-omar-committees/index.html
One could call this a significant drop.
"The latest statistics from the European Commission reveal that Cambridge University, which netted €483m (£433m) over the seven years of the last European research funding programme, Horizon 2020, has not received any funding in the first two years of the new Horizon Europe programme.
Meanwhile, Oxford, which won €523m from the earlier programme, has only been awarded €2m to date from Horizon Europe."
