Science peeps: Looks like SciENcv updated the digital certificate used to sign Biosketch and Current & Pending documents without notification. The old certificate expires Saturday, September 26, 2026. SciENcv docs before that date may fail validation in eRA Commons delaying or blocking submission.

🚨New paper! eConsent can promote cost-effectiveness & equity in research, but how does it compare to traditional consent w/r/t informedness? In this RCT, we tested the Sage Bionetworks eConsent developed by @megdoerr.bsky.social & @wilbanks.bsky.social, used by, eg NIH All of Us & Apple ResearchKit.

Reviewer 2 used an LLM to generate their review of our manuscript—except for the part where they asked for several irrelevant papers, all mysteriously authored by the same person, to be cited. Thank you, Reviewer 1, whoever you are. Not all heroes wear capes.

I am unconvinced that the three additional citations, all to [redacted], add to the paper. Although I fully understand the authors’ decision to include them given the other reviewer’s suggestions, I would like to voice my firm support if they prefer not to include them in the final version.
