Jak co wieczór, mimo że już z Polski, raport o sytuacji w Bachmucie. Miasto dalej się broni. W ciągu ostatnich 24 godzin sytuacja prawie się nie zmieniła. Rosjanie nie są w stanie otoczyć miasta. Ostrzeliwują jednak drogi, którymi Ukraińcy dostarczają zaopatrzenie.

Today I asked ChatGPT about the topic I wrote my PhD about. It produced reasonably sounding explanations and reasonably looking citations. So far so good – until I fact-checked the citations. And things got spooky when I asked about a physical phenomenon that doesn’t exist.
The moral of the story: do not, do NOT, ask ChatGPT to provide you a factual, scientific information. It will produce an incredibly plausibly sounding hallucination. And even a qualified expert will have troubles pinpointing what is wrong.
I left the conversation with the intense feeling of uncanniness: I just experienced a parallel universe of plausibly sounding, non-existing phenomena, confidently supported by citations to non-existing research. Last time I felt this way when I attended a creationist lecture.
I asked about more publications about multiferroics in general. I got a second shortlist – and it was all fake, again. Many names agreed again (Spaldin, Khomskii), but none of the citations was correct. Some had wrong DOIs, others wrong authors etc.
yeah, in ChatGPT either nonexistent DOIs are provided or DOIs are completely disconnected from the content. like you ask show me a citation on planetary physics and it shows you a DOI that refers to medicine. same goes for PMID numbers
Sofia’s nap in the park interrupted by #russia missile attack. Were welcomed in nearby basement turned bomb shelter. Watching Peppa Pig, making new friends and discussing recipes for the New Year Eve table. #Ukraine#Unbreakable

just stop - get your facts straight about the infrastructure of NIH. Unfounded statements create hate.
Fauci is at the NIAID which has its own ethics office:
niaid.nih.gov/about/ethics-c…
Grady is at the Bioethics department which does training, and consulting and is part of NIH CC.
Almost no one seems to realize that the head of bioethics at NIH – the person who is supposed to make sure that Fauci behaves ethically – is his wife 🧐

Community note
This is a common misunderstanding of the purpose of the NIH bioethics department. It is the department of the agency that conducts research into bioethical issues. It is not an internal oversight department for monitoring or policing ethics of NIH employees, and never has been.

what an excellent overview of "how to interpret VAFs of mutations", or how variants with low VAF can be germline, and variants with VAF ~50% or higher can be somatic. Skin biopsy would be great in many cases but a systematic step-by-step analysis can solve the case as shown here
I love cases that make me think.. Never a dull day at #hemepathMDA
Tune in: a #hemepath#MDSSM case for your learning pleasure.. Enjoy!

outstanding summary. Know your spleen! Also extremely helpful during workup of pancytopenia patient (leukemic process - spleen can be big, aplastic anemia/MDS - no big spleen).
Patients with myelofibrosis (MF) often present with a large spleen.
👉significant burden for patients
👉challenge for clinical management
👉esp for many colleagues in BMT, which is still the only curative treatment for MF
So, let's talk about the spleen 🧵

In Poland and in trenches near Bakhmut, our hearts beat as one.
In grief and in joy, together.
Thank you to our Polish friends, who gave shelter to our families, who help our soldiers. Thank you to @TygodnikWPROST for this powerful cover.
Love unites.
Not only on Christmas.
SDS Registry and Foundation Collaborators at ASH! @ColemanLindsley from Dana Farber, @marrowgenes from St. Jude and Dr. Nick Gloude from University of California San Diego. @KMyersBMT
We are announcing a full professorship (W3) in Experimental Hematology here at @UniklinikAachen @RWTH . The focus will be on hematopoietic stem cell disorders. Those who are interested, please contact myself, @rschneiderlab or @KoschmiederS
Congrats to @MassimoFederic0 and the Ukrainian colleagues on doing incredible work despite the horrendous situation in #Ukraine like with the #SAFERUkraine network for kids with cancer and blood diseases, international collaborations are key. @ASH_hematology
Thank you @NicoGagelmann for a quick tutorial on what is adult MPN and how to cure it (allo HSCT is the answer but that is obvious when you know his tweets)
