#Scientists around the world, you need to go read this full post on Substack by Tamiko Eto, the director of research operations at the Mayo Clinic. This is its headline: "Aligning U.S. IRBs with Emerging EU #AI #Research #Standards." https://techinhsr.substack.com/p/aligning-us-irbs-with-emerging-eu

An opinion piece in #PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) suggests that to help the overwhelmed #PeerReview system in #science, a transparent universal credit system should be established to incentivize peer review: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2506681123.

Nah. Peer reviewers need to be paid #income for their work! And one associate professor says, in a comment on Bluesky, that for-profit #publishers should pay peer reviewers.

An excellent blog post about what to look for when you're revising your writing, from my colleague Lisa Poisso

https://www.lisapoisso.com/2021/10/29/words-to-revise/

It's all great stuff, but I went searching for it because of the entry on "filter words."

Words to revise and delete from your manuscript, including why some words are considered "bad" and what to use instead.
