The UK Metascience Unit has launched the ‘National AI in Research’ Survey. We're looking for researchers across all disciplines and career stages to share their views on the use of AI in research. The survey will be published and used to inform national policy on AI in research.

Origins of language, one of humanity’s most distinctive traits, may be best explained as a unique convergence of multiple capacities each with its own evolutionary history, involving intertwined roles of biology & culture. This framing can expand research horizons. A 🧵 on our @science.org paper.🧪1/n
