Fantastic discussion lecture at @mpidr.bsky.social by @rmcelreath.bsky.social 😍
I cannot agree more with @ezagheni.bsky.social who introduced the guest as a true renaissance scientist of today 💎
Very thought provoking. I hope it will add to the collection of those "embarrassing" YouTube footage 🙃

Different bodies try to standardize what should constitute a contribution worthy of co-authorship. In medical field on of the more reputable ones is ICMJE
www.icmje.org/recommendati...
There are others too. None of them suggest that providing a handful of data points should grant co-authorship

These are produced via perplexity (which I mostly use) that routes image generation requests to openai/dalle

Here's a cool prompt that I recently saw and decided to try: "Based on what you know of me, draw a picture of what my life currently looks like"
Lots of curious stuff in the images: runes, a gaming PC connected to a (?) mouse, coffee called data.frame, Dessearch notes, a running shoe on the desk 🤩

🤩 here's an exceptionally curious (brilliant?) way of showing disparities that are observed today. Yet, with a caveat that the countries lagging behind will likely cover much of the path much faster. I wonder how critical this limitation is for the most likely reading of the figure? #demography

Becoming run addict 🙃
During summer vacation I started running every day, and so far (to my lasting surprise) I keep it going (or maybe even running). Every day, usually except Mondays and Fridays when I commute to Copenhagen. And I already notice positive changes in muscle tone and general energy 🫶

The recently updated list of so called top-2% researchers was downloaded more than 1 million times! Issuing badges is a real shortcut to success in the over-gamified academia 🙃

Finally, Elsevier showcases a snippet of the context in which this "article" was cited in another academic paper. I dare you find the relevance. And the 2nd and 3rd citations are also likely misattributed. Of course, this isn't the fault of the author of our paper in question, but the journal... 4/4

Even without considering outright fraud and paper mills, #ScientificPublishing can often be bewildering. Here is a generic set of publishing advice ranging, from trivia to opinionated, published as a research article. And yes, this weirdly named journal is actually Q1 in Scopus in 4 subjects 1/4

Yesterday in Hamburg, I finally visited a concert of my favorite musician Ivan Alekseev aka Noize MC (noizemc.com) — the voice of several Russian generations, a poet, rapper, rocker, and just a great human 💛💙

Few moves are as damaging for the reputation/perception of a journal/publisher as irrelevant or loosely relevant invitations to join editorial boards
Do you genuinely expect me to volunteer my time when you didn't spare 2 minutes to check my profile?

For now, I'll just drop the latest portion of screenshoted discussion that @runejacobsen.bsky.social later deleted. Open discussion, you know 🙈
I assume he blocked me soon(ish) after this exchange at the end of July'25.

Impressed with the catching up capabilities of Gemini (explored via AI Studio), I decided to try out Gemini AI Pro, the first free trial month. And my first interaction with Gemini in Gmail was rather amusing, a literal "go f*ck yourself" 😆
