My Claude-generated grievance of the @arxiv cap, based on a real human rant:

More writing output never did mean more knowledge gained. We knew that. And yet we continued to act like it did. This isn't AIs fault. It's science's.

Today I'm posting a new blog on a familiar topic... Nearly two hundred papers have confused the names of different proteins and recorded using the wrong antibody! This time it's PERK vs. p-ERK. Researchers from Harvard, the Mayo Clinic and more. Link in the first comment.

The Metacheck team is busy building an improved version of the osf_download function (https://t.co/hCGhGe0222 ). You will soon be able to use metacheck to download all files, wikis, and meta-data. You will also be able to upload everything to Zenodo.

BRISA, our Brazilian preclinical systematic review collaboration, has a new preprint on the effect of NMDA antagonists on social behaviour. Check it out at https://t.co/5SXgTK89op

[Brazilian Reproducibility Network @BrRepNetwork]

We are pleased to announce the launch of 10 recommendations for open and reproducible research in graduate programs!

The document presents practical and adaptable guidelines, including resources, tools, and examples.

🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science.

Here’s what we found 👇

The Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative preprint has been revised with some important updates! Here is a thread describing the main changes

[Brazilian Reproducibility Network @BrRepNetwork]

It was frustrating to find errors on the initial preprint, but this has taught us a lot both about the current state of data management in biomedical labs and about how hard it is for large collaborations to rely on asynchronous communication for most processes.
