A new Consensus Study Report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is now available: The Age of AI in the Life Sciences: Benefits and Biosecurity Considerations.
I serve on the advisory board of Language Science Press, a high quality open access publisher in linguistics. I alo co-edit a book series with the press. A recent query to the board concerned AI in submissions. I share my answer here because it may be useful beyond the LangSciPress community. Lightly edited to make more sense as a standalone post. I support the Press taking a clear stance in this matter. I think synthetic text (AI slop, i.e.
Recently reconverted into retail, I’ve just survived my first Black Friday — or rather Black Week, because apparently one chaotic day wasn’t enough. It was insane, messy and completely absurd. But as I went through it, I realized something surprising: I have never felt as stressed in retail as I did waiting for a paper to be reviewed. Naturally, my scientist brain started drawing parallels between the two worlds. Some funny.
For open science to advance, it is essential to monitor its practices to meaningfully assess whether they are achieving their intended goals for research and society. The Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI) was established to help the community assess the adoption and impact of open science across the research ecosystem and beyond.
International criminal law has made remarkable progress in recognizing gender-based crimes, yet conviction rates alone cannot capture the meaning of justice for survivors.

The mass distribution of dark matter halos that we infer from observations tells us where the dark matter needs to be now. This differs form the mass distribution it had to start, as it gets altered by the process of galaxy formation. It is the primordial distribution that dark matter-only simulations predict most robustly.
