Hot take alert! Submitting this kind of ChatGPT paper for peer review is wildly disrespectful to your colleagues and should result in being banned from submitting to journals.

I finally managed to have some pain free moments, but unfortunately it involved me lying on my bed like an upside down bug, and I can’t get anything done in that position

It’s been a really rough week of realising how much my very strong ethical beliefs about AI do not align with others at work ☹️

One of my frustrations* with the current discourse around neurodivergence is how it potentially underestimates or erases the impact of bullying**- has anyone written about this? *I don’t believe there is overdiagnosis, & not at all interested in delegitimising anyone’s experiences or diagnoses

I’ve looked literally everywhere! Where can they possibly be. I don’t mind too much about the trousers but the rest 😭 I want them back 😭

I’m my move I’ve managed to lose a pair of trousers, my favourite cardigan, a tablecloth, and the screws for my mirror. I can understand and even accept losing the screws, but the other things…how?!!

Everyone is so surprised and confused that I moved so far for this job. But I’ve always been told I have to move for work, always move, keep moving - it’s why I have no one and nowhere

I really hate how companies have started messaging you on WhatsApp- it’s crossing a line

The DWP is absolutely not fit for purpose. Job centres are useless. The people working there are so poorly resourced in terms of materially helping someone get work

Capitalism seeks to alienate the worker from everything it possibly can, and now that's going to include actual popular culture. Individualized AI media is going to remove the actual purpose of culture, which is established common experiences and interpersonal communication.

Do you ever feel like we pay far too much attention to some people? When there’s people out there so desperate - so soul achingly starved - of just a little attention but cursed to exist in this godawful attention economy

I’d welcome any tips on how to continue with research projects (including collaborative) that can’t be part of work contract (my role is research but specific research). I imagine this is a pretty common situation, but it’s throwing me off not having the autonomy I had before

It doesn’t quite namecheck my department, but we’re running this project at my new work (I’ve had nothing by to do with it yet). It’s exciting! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Birmingham study tests ear oxygen monitoring over fingertip checks

A new study is investigating whether ear oxygen monitoring could be more precise than fingertip tests.

People with chronic pain & fatigue - what accommodations do you have at work? Beyond a good desk set up and flexibility with working from home I’m a bit flummoxed over what to ask for. Grateful for any suggestions - I have an occ health apt on Tuesday

In conversations with clinicians, innovators and public advisers recently, the topic of ‘alarm fatigue’ keeps coming up, so I’m finally reading @alicebennett.bsky.social ‘s Object Lessons on the Alarm

If I wasn’t currently in so much pain myself, I’d write about the hypocrisies of who is perceived to be capable of pain & whose pain is considered legitimate & whose pain is believed & whose pain is eased. Spoiler: it isn’t consistent & it’s certainly not fair. But yeah let’s wonder about this 🙄

I will be so relieved when it finally gets cold again, so that I can use heat pads on my pain again

Is it a kind of migraine aura to have a numb head save for feeling as if there’s a small bug crawling on your scalp and gently pulling at your hair? Is it something else? It vacillates between incredibly annoying and deeply worrying

I watched this when it was first out and I have just zero recollection of anything apart from a vague memory of creepiness for my fave Matthew Rhys

The removal of seats at bus stops really does screw us all over. Who cares about disabilities, eh? The pathetic little perch thing is useless, too low to lean on

Look, let's clear this up. LLMs can't think or understand because those are evolved capabilities of embodied living organisms embedded in the physical and social world and LLMs aren't that. Don't make it harder than it is.

Something nice, and refreshing, about my new workplace is that when I meet people I don’t feel like I’m being scrutinised for how useful I might be to them or looked through because I’m just another temporary person. Not everyone I’ve worked with has been like that, but it’s what I’ve often felt

Gutted and relieved! More seriously, this is where my field (med hums) can come in, because it’s fascinating the stories we tell about brains, and if people riff on the idea of there being 2 - woah, I can hear the poetry now! Great opp for science communication too!

Oh sweet relief, my awful sciatica pain has finally eased! Oh joy! I am free! I am capable of anything!!! However, it may have started up again because a car was parked across the pavement on my walk home 😫

Sometimes I talk FAR TOO MUCH, I’m sorry. But please know it is either (or both) because a) I haven’t talked properly to another person for a while, or b) I have to keep talking otherwise my brain will die, suddenly shut down, and I fear it’ll never wake up again

Part of this story has also got to be Wellcome’s introduction of time limits for their Early Career Awards. Thousands of scholars negatively impacted by that, and the closure of all their small grant streams - I’ve found academia to be really silent on this
