I lead a young, vibrant research group at the University of Kansas - Pharmaceutical Chemistry. My lab works on metabolic adaptation: how our cells rewire their metabolism when challenged by chemical and nutrient stressors.
NIH is chaos. USDA is chaos. It looks like we put all the effort into wrapping a grant in proper shape and form, and now they've extended the deadlines.

Yes! And I’m surprised people haven’t realized yet that LLM is there for profit in the first place. It will make us so stupid that there will be no other alternative.

Even after connecting to PubMed, it’s still bad. Asked about a sub-sub-field, with very little literature. Got nothing but non-sense. It’s incapable to say “I can’t find shit about this”. That’s the major issue of LLM: dishonesty.

I still contend that >90% of the benefit of writing a review isn't the audience. It's for the author going through the literature, finding gaps in knowledge, learning how experiments are done, etc. It really isn't about writing a review. It's about doing the review yourself. AI can't do that for you
