I've been using ChatGPT to research medical topics lately. I use it as a minimally biased observer rather than a tutor. ChatGPT knows how to stay on topic; ChatGPT knows how to weigh things fairly.
It's very good for gaining depth and clarity on subjects you're already reasonably comfortable with, but not so much for stuff you're just learning about. Catching it in a mistake makes it perform much better, for whatever reason. Resource escalation, perhaps.

A word of caution on ChatGPT, MD
"However, the use of generative AI in biomedicine also presents challenges and threats, especially in the context of accuracy. Consumer tools like ChatGPT were not trained on the entire corpus of biomedical data, such as full-text articles behind the paywall at major publishers, nor was it tested or trained by experts in biomedicine. The output of these AI systems in response to prompts is therefore often erroneous."

This March the Dutch Society for Immunology (DSI/NVVI) host the NVVI Spring Meeting. We host inspiring talks on many topics in #immunology: #Infection, #Modeling, #Neuroscience, #Cytokines, #TumorImmunology.
It's a relatively small meeting, so you have plenty of opportunities to meet the speakers and other participants.
Early bird registration ends February 16th.

"Study: Over 50% of academics admit to pirating research papers
A majority of the survey respondents say they used websites like Sci-Hub to avoid paywalls by accessing illegal copies of research. "
wow. sound like a healthy ecosystem?

'In summary, we demonstrate that human T cells possess a functional cGAS-STING signaling pathway that can contribute to antiviral immunity. However, regardless of its potential antiviral role, the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway negatively affects T cell function at multiple levels'

'A study published Tuesday in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology reveals that these brown crabs have been on the menu for a long time. In a cave less than 20 miles from Lisbon, researchers discovered charred remnants of shells and claws: evidence that Neanderthals were cooking and eating crab 90,000 years ago.'

#introduction
Hi all, I'm an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. My lab studies the #evolution of #bacteria, especially what happens to #pathogens before they get into humans. We particularly love host-microbe interactions involving #microeukaryotes like #amoebae and other #protists.
You can learn more on our lab website https://www.teralevinlab.com
I also tend to post nature photos and advice for trainees about navigating science!

What happens with Google search, ChatGPT etc is that they skim off the hard word of journalists without linking back to our platforms any more, cutting us off from readers and potential customers who might support our investigations and work, i.e. the very creation of quality information. It‘s value strip-mining at its worst when Google searches don‘t yield links to actual journalism any more but „answers“ that are algorithmically synthesized. https://www.niemanlab.org/2023/02/google-now-wants-to-answer-your-questions-without-links-and-with-ai-where-does-that-leave-publishers/
