Hi! Quick fire 300 char answer: 1. having a qualitative measure of rigour instead of quantitative metrics. 2. Yes, params of ratings are weighted. 3. Reviews are moderated + admin level flagging system. Also, community level input - recently reviewed papers rise to the top inviting more input

Can someone with drawing skills please make this cartoon?

screenshot of text that reads the following: Moses climbing down from Mt Sinai, carrying the two tablets inscribed with the ten commandments. Upon reaching the bottom, he sees his people worshiping a false god, a genAI system that is saying:

“Great question! The Ten Commandments are a set of moral and religious principles found in….”

Earlier this year I wrapped up a bilingual teaching tool called "BlinkR". It helps teach experimental design, data gathering, and statistical analysis using R. It is also written in #rshiny + google drive/ sheets storage to make it easier for novice users #stemteaching github.com/dschnitzler1...

Currently in the process of re-working my CV to a narrative CV and finding it unexpectedly challenging, but in the best way. But, admittedly, also in an existential crisis kind of way... anyone got any advice? #narrativecv #researchculture #DORA

Extrem leidiges Thema aber da ich mich inzwischen wirklich tagtäglich damit auseinander setzen muss: ich persönlich finde es beängstigend dass scheinbar ein Großteil aller Studierenden & auch einige Kolleg*innen ChatGPT oder andere LLMs, evtl auch AI Image Generators benutzen. Meine Probleme damit:

I am just an ECR standing in front of Science Bluesky asking them to follow her [over on @paperstarsorg.bsky.social]

👉 If you have 2 seconds, go follow @paperstarsorg.bsky.social 👉 If you have 10 seconds, sign up for email updates here: paperstars.org 👉 If you have 300 seconds (5 minutes), complete the survey here: www.paperstars.org/building-pap... It really helps. Even if you mute me again (I hope you don't)

Taking a deep breath and hoping the internet is kind today. ❗️Still under development but time to share. I'm working on a platform for researchers to rate & review scientific papers. @paperstarsorg.bsky.social making research better, not just louder. #metascience #academicsky #sciencesky #research

Looking to formally examine the proposed benefits of using this scaffolded learning approach via BlinkR soon! 10/➡️

collect the data, carry out analysis in a scaffolded R environment, and interpret the results. Accessible via any device. We (@melanieistefan.bsky.social and I) have run a version of the analysis section with one cohort and gotten some positive student feedback. 9/➡️

BlinkR is a tool for educators to run an experiment, allowing students to design and plan an experiment (in this case, specifically measuring blink rate in response to a stressful video vs a neutral video - but it can definitely be adapted to anything), 8/➡️

👁️ Most recently I have been working on an educational shiny app that, enigmatically is called “BlinkR” as per popular naming R-things conventions. It is still a WIP, but then, what isn’t? 7/➡️

👩‍💻 speaking of shiny, I am (like most I’d wager), a self-taught #shiny (for R) enthusiast and am always looking for ways to create new and exciting tools with shiny. also excited to develop my skills! 6/➡️

3. 👩‍🔬 Metascience: I am interested in all things #metascience, learning from our mistakes and working towards an open and trustworthy scientific culture. I am working on something exciting (for me and hopfully for you too) so stay tuned! 5/➡️

2. 🔬 Depression as a research topic: Admittedly, this one is still a little vague. Largely because I have ideas, but they are still germinating and it's still too scary share my thoughts out loud 4/➡️

✨ like a distracted magpie, I am attracted to anything *shiny* that piques my interest 🖌️ in broad strokes my interests can be broken down into three pillars 1. 👩‍🏫 Educational Work 2. 🔬 Depression as a research topic 3. 👩‍🔬 Metascience 2/➡️
