Was just online with ChatGPT - who says that for assessment of the scientific literature "I typically rely on the abstracts or key findings sections to provide a summary of the main results and conclusions of the study." Now we have another way to distort scientific discovery.

AI can't provide explanations. Great article by Noam Chomsky and colleagues on AI and the challenges in going beyond description and prediction to providing explanations.

Pedantic Friday
Are "upregulated" and "cross-link" hyphenated? Is "Lucifer yellow" capitalized? When to use en dash (-) or em dash (–)? If you think about these things, here are some resources:

To understand Lyme disease, scientists @SearsonGroup modeled the dissemination of the bacterium that causes it.

The model visualizes the migration and invasion of fluorescently-labeled pathogens into blood vessels.
