This last chapter "Horoscopes" is only 3 pages but I keep thinking it should be at the start of the book, because it is about scientific and social context of statistics. Anyway here it is:
How I fell out of love with academia

Multiple people have sent this excel horror story to me. Excel: unsafe by design. Headline: Excel recruitment time bomb makes top trainee doctors 'unappointable':
Mangled mismatch of formats, macros, and VLOOKUP practice hits wannabe anesthetists https://t.co/PrEGDfRBD2
Exciting News! Our manuscript on "The R package for DICOM to brain imaging data structure conversion" has been published by Nature Scientific Data. Kudos to my amazing coauthors for their hard work and dedication. https://t.co/TP5AIpFgm0 #BIDS#Neuroimaging#BIDSconvertR
Teachers should be wary of AI detection tools:
1. All the current tools were made for GPT-3.5, not the newer GPT-4
2. Even small changes to the text (including asking the AI to revise text) can break detectors
3. There often are false positives
4. In the end, AIs beat detectors👇
Ok this is big.
Web of Science just removed the MDPI flagship journal IJERPH from their lists. This means IJERPH has no more an Impact Factor.
Why is this big? What are the implications? 🧵

Wie wäre es eigentlich mit politische Mandate auf 3Jahre Höchstdauer befristen. Wer dann nicht MinisterIn ist: raus, nicht das System verstopfen...

Bin momentan schwer begeistert von https://t.co/gi2s6CtJKS. Beliebiges PDF hochladen und danach kann man mit dem Text chatten, Fragen stellen etc.
Sehr interessant für Schüler:innen, wenn sie mit Schullektüren und Schulbücher direkt interagieren können.

I packed-up a full-text paper scraper, vector database, and LLM into a CLI to answer questions from only highly-cited peer-reviewed papers. Feels unreal to be able instantly get answers by an LLM "reading" dozens of papers. 1/2
New publication! We argue for an overhaul of academic systems to improve research quality: short-term employment, biased selection procedures + misaligned incentives hinder progress & rigor in research. #OpenScience#AcademicTwitter#IchBinHanna https://t.co/0Y6WSvp4k5
VERY impressive auditory illusion (if you can call multistable stimuli illusions). I love how you can effectively choose what to hear by looking at the relevant lyrics! (Via Reddit)
