What a honour to be part of the fantastic organising committee of the Stempra Scotland event. We had great sessions on communicating controversial research, journalism and AI. Thanks so much to everyone who spoke, chaired, asked questions or attended!

Tools to be aware of in AI: Future Tools collates them. Others are:
Suno - creates songs from prompts (check out sad porcupine jazz, heavy on the saxophone)
Predictive responses and text tailored to you personally
PowerPoint designer

Poe is an AI that will allow you to see how different AIs respond to the same prompt.
Claude is a large language model like ChatGPT that is good at summarising, q&a, editing and more.

Do not put anything controversial, confidential or personal in an AI tool because they will use your inputs for training.
@BenVerinder has professional plans for all the tools he uses because you can turn this off

There is never a problem getting a good science story on, even in the midst of an election. When we see a good story we grab it with both hands, says @BBCPallab #StempraScotland

By midday today @BBCLisaSummers had deciphered a data set and read a 60 page report to decide if there was anything new in either. Now she's here talking to #StempraScotland This pace is why our help to explain research and point to why it's interesting or new is invaluable 🤩

And @LauraRPiper says she used to make her own newspapers as a child, sticking together with glue and scissors!
She self shoots for STV so it will often be just her and she's busy so working with press officers and experts is invaluable #StempraScotland

Oooh, @janderson_news says send him your exclusives. Because of subscription at The Scotsman they won't touch something that's been covered elsewhere #StempraScotland
I wonder how many tip offs he'll get over the lunch break 🤔

Research has been politicised in a way since the pandemic, says Elizabeth McMeekin of @UofGlasgow We need to bear this in mind when we approach communicating it #StempraScotland
