This week, I’ve been reading a lot about #AI, #MachineLearning, #LargeLanguageModels and the illusions of understanding in scientific research. It’s fascinating but also concerning, when we consider the advantages but also the risks and limitations of these tools. So much work to do!

What’s funny with #gradschool sometimes you have no clue where time goes. You sign up for RCR trainings, you totally forget about them. End of semester arrives, all big projects, grading, course, conference deadlines, paper reviews, rejection are chasing you. Everything everywhere all at once. #Phd

“One thing is increasingly clear: no theory of the cell, of social media, or of the Internet can ignore the profound network effects that their interconnectedness cause [Sic]. Therefore, if we are ever to have a theory of complexity, it will sit on the shoulders of #networktheory” (#Barabasi, 2012)
