This is truly aggravating.
Das ist nicht nur in den Geisteswissenschaften der Fall. Ich zerbreche mir auch regelmäßig den Kopf darüber wie ich die Studierenden motivieren kann ihre Aufgaben selbstständig zu machen. Selbst wenn ich um handschriftliche Anfertigungen bitte, werden sie teilweise von der KI abgeschrieben.

This is such a cool principle! I had never thought about it, but it makes so much sense.
Very cool work by @thevirusmc.bsky.social and @plantophagy.bsky.social about how autophagy protects from cell death in defense of viral infection in plants.

A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and pathogen entry.
Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->

RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...
Ein super Text (und ein trauriger) über das Problem von KI in der Lehre. Die Dimensionen sind wohl noch viel größer: Wofür ein Studium der Geisteswissenschaften, wenn KI nicht nur das Lesen, sondern auch das Schreiben übernimmt

Catalogue entries for more than 100 antibodies sold by the research services and supply company Thermo Fisher Scientific contain images that have apparently been manipulated, according to a pair of science sleuths.

Scientists have long worried about the reliability of commercial antibodies, and the latest findings have sparked fresh concerns.
