Extending our #ICA26 visit to Cape Town because #Delta flight DL211 was CANCELLED. Waiting for Delta to step up and take care of its 450 stranded passengers. No water. No dinner.

Hey #ica26, I recently wrote a little something that I believe might be interesting to many. Over years I tried to find a way to properly keep up to date with new journal publications across those journals that are most important to me... (1/n)

Today I reviewed my first manuscript with a GenAI declaration. I'm sure other articles I've reviewed used GenAI, but not with official statements. I know this is the path forward in declaring AI work, but it's also leaving me curious where the human/AI line is in this writing, and where it matters.
