"Our researchers began designing experiments differently from the start. They became more creative and collaborative. The goal shifted from telling polished stories to uncovering useful truths. All results had value, such as failed attempts, abandoned inquiries, or untested ideas…"

"There are so many problems with our current way of doing things, and most of those problems are complicated and difficult to solve. This one isn’t."

'An expert in AI at Google has admitted he used the technology to help write a preprint manuscript that commenters on PubPeer found to contain a slew of AI-generated phrases like “squared blunder” and “info picture.”

'The paper, “Leveraging GANs For Active Appearance Models Optimized Model Fitting,” appeared on arXiv.org in January but was withdrawn April 7.'

Inside Medicine

The will is a word that nurses may use to describe their patients’ actions or inactions. This concept has been extensively addressed by religions, psychologists, and philosophers. Ricoeur offered a phenomenology of the will in which three overarching key concepts were uncovered: decision, action, and consent. In this article, Ricoeur’s elaborative and exhaustive description of these three concepts is summarized. Examples as to how a phenomenology of the will may guide nurses in their day-to-day clinical practice in caring are provided. In research, Ricoeur’s phenomenology of the will may be used as a heuristic to guide phenomenological studies. An introduction to the will may act as a bridge between the art and science of nursing, providing nursing students with a greater understanding of the meaning of and need to provide holistic care.

Really interesting article that challenges the benefits of #PeerReview in scientific work: not that it couldn't work, but that the entire way it's implemented now is a massive failure that actually makes things worse. (Why? Because it gives a false sense of security, while adding a huge amount of work that actually reduces the amount of work published without actually improving the quality of the results.)

I'm paraphrasing, of course, so go read the article!
