Profound read on AI use and the influence on students.

"Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."

A colleague is asking how many #Neuroscientists are here on Mastodon / Fedi. If you are one, could you make yourself known in this poll? Also, more specific comments about your field welcome! 🧠

Don't be this reviewer, who uses #ChatGPT to show the references that I should have cited, and which are of course fake.

And don't be the editor who let this through as an allowable review.

And then make a final decision that won't be reconsidered.

I've been enjoying Mastadon but have missed the academic side of things--I used to find so many resources for students and faculty on Twitter. I realized that I need to start doing them myself and maybe we'll build a community. So, here I go:

This issue was a tough one to publish, but I need you to know: If you're struggling in #academia, you are not alone. 🫶

Please share with anyone who needs to hear this.

I quit academia and I don't regret it at all.
In the post I am sharing why I am happier and feel like I am doing more for the scientific community outside of academia.

👣 Why leaving academia helped me do more for science

In May 2021 I left academia. I am finally ready to tell my story why I did and why I belief that I can do more for science from where I am now. From an outsiders perspective I had a fabulous career in science.
