This past weekend I was delighted to be one of @soapboxscibrighton.bsky.social speakers, talking about using DNA to track outbreaks in hospitals with members of the public at Brighton beach. Volunteer- Shelley Wang Image Credit- Stuart Robsinson/ Darren Baskill #sciencecommunication
Ida stands in a white lab coat talking to members of the public at Brighton pier. Ida stands at the beach in a white lab coat, holding up a plastic model of DNA to her audience. The west pier is in the background. Ida stands in a white labcoat with her back to the camera. The soapbox science logo is visible on her back as she speaks to her audience. The i360 is in the background. Ida faces the camera smiling, wearing a white labcoat and standing in front of a sign describing the talk she gave; 'Ida Sey- Germ detectives, cracking the case of infections in hospitals'.

I enjoyed reading @nature.com’s article on the use of AI in scientific research - and then taking the questionnaire myself to really tease out my own thoughts on the issue. When is it okay to use AI in our research (if at all)? Is disclosing our usage enough?
nature.com
Is it OK for AI to write science papers? Nature survey shows researchers are split
Poll of 5,000 researchers finds contrasting views on when it’s acceptable to involve AI and what needs to be disclosed.
