Die #Krankenhausreform ist durch, aber was passiert mit den anderen #Gesundheitsgesetz|en nach dem Aus der #Ampel? Viele wichtige Gesetze bleiben auf der Strecke. Was heißt das für die Zukunft der #Gesundheitsversorgung? Ein Überblick von Silke Jäger:
Wie steht es um die Gesundheitsreformen nach dem Ampel-Aus?
Die Krankenhausreform kommt, andere Vorhaben wie die Notfall- und Pflegereform sind politisch tot. Was bedeutet das für die Zukunft des Gesundheitswesens?

Hot take: Working another weekend this semester, I am left wondering: Why does the #NLProc publication process have so much artificial urgency baked into it? Requiring responses within 24h, emergency reviewers, everything urgent. Like, why?
Slow science can also be a community goal.

People make prompting too hard. Most people would benefit from just using good enough prompting techniques. I outline some basic rules, including why “treat AI like an intern” is no longer the advice I would give new AI users. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/getting-st...

How to write a grant?
1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant.
2. Communicate in stories.
3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps.
4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading.
5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review.

I created a starter pack for human-AI collaboration in case that this would be helpful for some newcomers, which overlaps with several existing starter packs. Let me know if you would like to be added.
