Thiamine (vitamin B1) is essential to metabolism & deficiencies produce a condition called beriberi.
I want to tell the story of why the Japanese Army suffered from it until 1926, while the Japanese Navy did NOT after 1884.
A cautionary tale about science denialism & the resulting policy choices.

We will be the last generation of academics who know the literature well enough to tell if a publication is real or not real at a glance.
One big effect of AI hype and promotion of unreliable chatbots is that a significant amount of additional friction and labour is being injected into our knowledge-making and -maintaining systems. At a time when these systems are already contracting and being starved by growing austerity.
Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.
We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

🌊 Serendipity often drives science forward.

What’s at risk? Up to 5 m of global sea-level rise.

What our missing ocean float revealed about Antartica’s melting glaciers
Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us estimate global sea-level rise.
