1. How common is LLM use in scientific publishing, and how does it vary across field, publisher, journal prestige, author demographics etc.? @kylesiler.bsky.social has new paper in PNAS that addresses this question on a massive scale: 7.3 million papers from Elsevier, PLOS, MDPI, and Frontiers.
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly changing academic research, raising questions
of who is adopting these tools and under what conditions. Th...

Researchers are preparing to launch an unprecedented trial to protect people exposed to Ebola in the DRC and Uganda
"trainees who rely on AI during the early formative years of clinical education may fail to develop the foundational reasoning skills that safe, independent practice requires"
