Key quote from the article: "Encouraging researchers to pack in their text more densely instead of revising their writing so it is clearer and more concise is well-intentioned but terrible advice."

Could widespread use of #ChatGPT force funding agencies to change the structure of their grant applications and eventually result in *less* fluffy, generic waffle? Wouldn't that be nice! https://t.co/Tcl3JYwLvs

"Working With an Editor: An Overview for Writers" - free @EditorsCanada webinar by Marianne Ward on Feb 23rd. Looks like a great intro! https://t.co/B0vbSiS30m
I received Word documents from two different clients this week that had weird formatting (grey highlighting & blue text in one, bold text in another) that I couldn't fix using the usual keyboard shortcuts or buttons on the Home tab. Luckily, format painter did work. Anyone else?
Not sure what the point of that is, exactly. I just wanted to import the PDF into my EndNote library with all the other PDFs so I only have to work from one source. UGH.
Well, that's a new one: found a journal that has the full text publicly available and will let me view a PDF or ePub version on screen, but says I don't have the required license to download either version or print the on-screen version to PDF.

My favourite thing about freelancing is getting to catch up on the details of the latest research in so many different fields. I'm currently working on a manuscript on a topic I haven't followed closely since undergrad, and it's amazing how far it's come!
