Also this week: AI vs. the US Supreme Court, impressive data forensics, and more.
From Jeremy:
Impressive data forensics from Data Colada, chasing down a fraudster who used an entertainingly novel (to me) method of data fabrication. Data Colada’s work led to the University of Toronto taking away the fraudster’s PhD.
Don’t try to get a fixed amount of work done every day. That’s the taxicab fallacy.
In AI we trust. Wow.
Writing in Science, Emily Pawley reviews Laura Martin’s new(ish) history of ecological restoration, Wild By Design.
A 2002 Nature paper on pluripotent adult stem cells, that’s been cited more than 4500 times, has been retracted. Most of the authors agreed to the retraction. It’s the most highly cited paper ever to be retracted.
This week in small effect sizes that are going to make a lot of people (not me) very upset.
xkcd vs. population ecology. 🙂 Gonna find a way to work this onto an exam when I teach population ecology next year.
