I find it strange that some professors run students submissions through AI detectors. If LLMs are trained and retrained on human-written texts, doesn't that mean that any text is more likely to incorrectly flag as AI-generated (false positive)? Try some AI-detectors on your old publication, and see!

TRY database, so useful but can be frustrating because a lot of the trait parameters are not standardized. And then there's GIFT, equally super useful but not enough information on a trait I'm looking for - leaf margin! What are y'all's go-to for resolving taxonomic synonyms in R? kewr? taxize?

PhD students, Postdocs, and PIs on here, what are you looking forward to the most this 2024? I'll go: 2023 was quite stressful for me personally (and academically), and so I just want to go easy on myself this year. Enjoy fieldwork, collect quality and informed datasets, and enjoy my family!

The other insight is not to expect that you can slow down once you've 'made it' because the goal posts are always shifting. It has to be an active decision.

I'd thought being a PhD student is hard. But after passing my candidacy last month, I feel like it's the exam pressure that made it hard. Now that I have to do fieldworks, multiple experiments, grant applications, courses auditing, and be disciplined, looks like "candidate" might actually be harder!
