James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 23/06/2025It’s got loads of creepy AI slope. It’s got lots of nostalgic blubbering. It wallows in the uncanny valley. It has a silly broadway show tune. It also has a point! My contribution to the @westernu.bsky.social CTL GenAI Summer Challenge is MULTIMODAL at teaching.uwo.ca/genai/posts/... 000

James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 11/04/2025Well, here it is...all in one place! I think this is just about everything I have learned in all my years about presenting research and using public speaking to communicate science. I hope it is helpful! @westernu.bsky.social #KMb #scicomm westernhealthsciences.createsend.com/t/y-e-ckruii... 141
James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 31/03/2025This @visualcap.bsky.social chart is a good reminder that if you are waiting for some magical moment in the future when the future is fully known, you really need to get over the delusion that such a future will ever arrive. www.visualcapitalist.com/global-econo... 110
James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 30/03/2025Super friendly staff. Genuinely relaxed atmosphere—no rush to turn the table. No blaring music. No televisions. And yes, free wifi and a local brew. Dine in your neighbourhood. (Archie’s #ldnont) 130

James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 14/02/2025The peer review process is often abstruse and unpredictable. But can AI "predict" what reviewers will flag as weaknesses in grant applications?

James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 25/11/2024“The LLM alone outperformed physicians even when the LLM was available to them” is fascinating—but the public reporting on this article really needs to emphasize that the analysis case data was collected and written by actual physicians, not random people talking to an LLM. doi.org/10.1001/jama... 000

James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 16/11/2024My little nostalgic #ldnont Twitter universe from 2014 has been miraculously, faithfully reincarnating itself here over the last 48 hours. Feeling the tipping point vibes. It’s good to see you, everyone. 5353
James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 15/11/2024And we are live! Ankita takes the stage to kick things off. Always inspired by the creative narratives that these students create. It’s a two day setup, but more than worth it every time. Good luck tonight, storytellers! #westernuStory 000
James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 14/11/2024Setting up in the hallway? Yes, to work around class schedules, assembly of the Storyhouse production and staging equipment typically begins in the hallways outside of the Conron Hall in the afternoon. It’s a fun little logistics hack. 100
James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 14/11/2024It’s a #scicomm #roadtrip! Production team now getting ready to head across the #westernu campus for setup. (Of course, it’s rainy day because that’s what happens when you need to move electronics between buildings.) #westernuStory 110
James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 14/11/2024Packing technically started yesterday, as a full #westernuStory production involves moving a lot of equipment from the Faculty of Health Sciences’ Digital Media Studio. 100
James Shelley @jamesshelley.com · 14/11/2024Today's thread: "behind the scenes" of a #WesternU Storyhouse Finale. Over the past 7 weeks, a cohort of 18 students have workshopped these articles into narratives. Tonight at 7PM it all comes together as they perform these stories live on stage. Join us? All are welcome! uwo.ca/fhs/research... 130
