Good advice... 4 ways to spot a dodgy ‘expert’ theconversation.com/when-it-come... 1. Dodgy experts don’t acknowledge uncertainty 2. The dodgy expert doesn’t strive to be objective 3. Dodgy experts cherry-pick evidence 4. Dodgy experts don’t change their mind when the evidence changes

When it comes to health information, who should you trust? 4 ways to spot a dodgy ‘expert’

Even if we feel we have some understanding of science, few of us have the time or the capacity to verify every claim made by every so called ‘expert’.

Wondering how High-Fidelity uses AI in the editing and reviewing of your grants and manuscripts? We don’t. We use our PhD-educated brains and years of experience writing, editing, and evaluating scientific literature. Hope that clears things up.

1/ So...about that that Conservative "announcement" about ending wokeness in federal research funding. It's not (yet) a published policy, but a line in a speech, which the party has only distributed in French (no English translation avaiable on the website). www.conservateur.ca/pierre-poili...

Canadian researchers: Did you know that soon you won't be able to apply for Tri-Agency grants without a project-specific 5-page narrative CV? Because you don't have enough to do already, am I right?! Our new CV Switchover Solution will help simplify the process. Coming NEXT WEEK!

Sigh. Sometimes I read grant reviews and the only logical conclusion I can see for the scoring is straight-up sexism. Or racism. Or both. It’s incredibly disheartening.

In case anyone was wondering why the government was so heavily invested in scientific research (pre-DOGE) here is a clear explanation from one of the workers on the chopping block:

A Reddit post by user Throwawayainteasy: I get exhausted trying to explain this stuff to people who fundamentally don't understand pure scientific research.

It's mostly not profitable, at least in the short-term. Some of the most important scientific breakthroughs are things that we won't really understand the value of until 10-20 years from now or more. Possibly generations.

That's just the nature of science. It can even be true for the seemingly mundane stuff. In the 60s someone gets curious how flies can get around so well with such tiny brains, that answer turns into new understandings, those understandings merge with new computing, and in the 2020s we have autonomous drones and self driving cars who's existence is rooted all the way back to someone's unheralded research that started because they thought bugs were neat.

No for-profit company would fund the first 20 steps in that process, because there's no clear path to profitability until the end. That's why governments across the world are the primary funders of pure research.

Oh, hey, just so everyone knows… we’re a Canadian company. Also, no tariffs on services, so we remain here for our US clients, too. Big hugs folks. This is just deplorable and you’re all in our hearts ❤️

With all the carnage being indiscriminately wrought on scientists in the US, remember, a war on science is a lost war. Science doesn’t care what you or anybody else thinks. You either embrace science or you chase imaginary demons. It took us centuries to realize this.

My heart breaks for all those at NIH with all these illegal exec orders & firings These are irrecoverable losses for US science & health Don’t think for a second similar purging of science & health ecosystems won’t happen in 🇨🇦 if PP & the Cons win the federal election It will #dontvoteconservative
