Hi there old and new followers! Just to be sure, let me re-introduce myself. I study the credibility of scientific claims and scientists, how that credibility is built and maintained, contested and destroyed. To that end, I look at collaboration, integrity, rhetoric, and a lot more. 1/2

GIVE AWAY! // AKA WE DID IT AGAIN!
Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵)
Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

I might never visit the US again, if no one reserses this nightmarish folly. Overall, they'll not miss me, individually. But there are many me's.
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

One imaginary sees the scientific literature as a gigantic library, with texts to be read. Another sees it as a database, with facts to be mined. Our analysis clarifies contrasting expectations informing current publishing innovations, and their epistemic and political risks.
