🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times LESS accurate than humans.
Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.
The ISBS 2025 Conference is coming to @QatarUniversity and the call for paper is open!
Submit your research and join us for a fantastic conference and a great experience in Doha!
Organized in collaboration with @HBKU & @Aspire_Academy#ISBS2025#SportsBiomechanics
My time at @polimi has come to an end after almost three years.
It was an invaluable and formative experience🙏
Now, it is time for the next step, and I am incredibly excited to start my new role as Senior Football Biomechanics Specialist at @Aspire_Academy⚽

😃New article published in J Biomech!
"Effects of mediolateral whole-body vibration during gait with additional cognitive load", by Bertozzi et al.

❗Our last study, just published Open Access 🔓 in @JBiomech, explored the effects of whole-body vibration on gait parameters, lower limb kinematics, and cognitive response🚶♂️🧠
Great collective work carried out at @polimi@Alex_Moorhead
Check it out! ⬇

@isbs_conference at @PLUS_1622 was amazing!🙌
I presented our research (https://t.co/ZThKjVmjgo, @BiomechScott), learned from top experts, met new friends, and visited the city of Salzburg🇦🇹
Congratulations to @ISBSOFFICIAL and the local committee for the organization!👏

PhD students, and academics in general, are not paid enough, especially given the inflation. This is a major problem that is forcing many below the poverty line, and out of academia.
To solve this problem, we’ve created a platform where academics can earn more money from their academic skills that they already have.
It’s called “Academic Tasks Solutions” (@Academic_Tasks on Twitter, make sure to follow).
It’s kind of like “Fiverr” for academia where academics can list academic services to help other academics, and get paid for them.
For example, you might be good a programming. Posting a job where you can write codes for other academics can earn you more money.
Or, perhaps you’re good at transcribing interviews. There are hundreds of thousands of academics who have interviews that need to be transcribed. By offering this academic service, you can earn more money.
Or, maybe you’re good at making figures and images. EVERY academic needs good figures, and most of us don’t know how to make them. Providing this service allows every academic to get someone to help them make good figures for their research.
Or, perhaps you have experience in a particular method, like running western blots. Many academics need to learn how and don’t have the expertise around them to learn from. By offering to teach them, they get to learn how to do it, as well as the tips and tricks for making it work better, and you earn more money.
Or, maybe you’re good at writing CVs and helping people get jobs. Posting jobs to help academics with their CVs or other aspects of their job hunt will enable you to make more money.
Or, perhaps you are good at statistics and can help someone determine the “p-values” of their work. Post a job offering this service and earn money off of this skill.
These are just a few skills you might be able to offer, but they don’t even scratch the surface. You have so many skills to offer. Be creative and post jobs on every skill you have because there are academics out there who need them.
Academic Tasks Solutions is a true community where academics help each other, and get fairly rewarded for their skills.
All academics have valuable skills that they’ve developed through working in academia. Academic Tasks Solutions provides a way for you to make the money you deserve from them.
And Academic Tasks Solutions operates on academic conduct where academics get acknowledged for their work.
How does Academic Tasks Solutions work?...👇

Not able to produce “favorable results” in the lab? You are a “loser”.
Stay in the shadows of those who can bring cool data to the Big Prof.
Sounds familiar? It's not only about this case at Stanford.
It's about academic culture in general:
- Keep pushing for metrics. Quantity over quality. Look for flashy conclusions.
- Skyrocket your profile. Build your research enterprise. Outcompete everyone in your field.
Isn’t it how academia works today? 🤨
▫️
Albert Einstein remarked: “An academic career, in which a person is forced to produce scientific writings in great amounts, creates a danger of intellectual superficiality”.
Peter Higgs said he could NOT replicate his discovery in today’s academic climate: “Not enough peace and quiet in the present sort of climate to do what I did in 1964”.
▫️
Wonder about the results of this “culture”?
1. Thousands of FAKE research articles are published. 30% of all scientific articles may be fake products of paper mills. There is even a special lengthy page on Wiki called “Replication crisis”.
2. Life-draining tenure requirements that fuel the rat race. Why? To ensure the university ranking and recognition is going up.
3. Most PhDs don’t see themselves in science anymore. In many places, you are not required to be creative and knowledgable. Instead, you should demonstrate you can win a race.
Everyone knows it but few things change.
▫️
I am happy that Stanford showed courage and carried out investigation. It is an excellent example of HOW to react to manipulated papers and unhealthy lab dynamic.
It's just another reminder that:
We should STOP focusing on taking “professional selfies”.
We should STOP trading our passion for glory.
Focus on science instead
