This is my just-published paper, in which gene set enrichment analysis and systems biology modeling yield evidence supporting dietary choline sufficiency as a worthwhile, low risk goal, in terms of supporting sensory processing in #autistic people

There is a church in our area named Ebenezer that has signs posted by the road: "Come to Ebenezer for Easter!"
And every time I drive by, I think the signs should have read, "Come to EbenEaster!"
Missed opportunity π

Neal's rich voice has been an indelible part of my driving around the DMV with the radio on, since I moved to Virginia 22 yrs ago, just before starting college. Go, Neal!πΈ

Spent days helping my youngest study for a test on DNA replication before her science test today at school. Then spent another couple of hours tonight helping my oldest with trig function proofs.

How would you describe literature published in 1998 with respect to how research and population in question has changed in the last 25 years?
"Early research"? "Earlier research"? How far back to you need to go before cited research becomes "early"?

Particularly, I'm thinking of autism research published in the late 90s, when diagnostic criteria, public awareness, and assessment rates were all much more constricted than they are now.
Americans in general only barely knew about autism in the 80s and 90s. A lot has changed!

Scientific literature about autism existed in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. The 60s through 80s talked about autism through an extremely narrow diagnostic lens.
But that research context is as different from 1998 research context, as 1998 research context is from today's.

I've wondered if ChatGPT is as adept at understanding how written code is wrong *if it runs* but has more subtle errors (for example, equation errors or an unnecessarily memory intensive for-loop). Can students critique inelegant/typo'ed code better than ChatGPT would?
21 Jan 2023
Looks like I have to make all my programming assignments much harder: I just asked #ChatGPT to write 3 programs that I ask my undergrads to write for their first assignment, and it generated correct code in seconds, in both Python and Perl. Now what? π€

My testing with various NAMD and VMD questions gets the answer wrong about 30% of the time - but when I tell ChatGPT the answer is wrong, it often gets it right in the answer that follows.
22 Jan 2023
It's not perfect. It mistook another question about an *.xsc file as a question about an *.xyz file. That's why it's not a replacement for lab training - you need to have at least some prior training & instinct to ID when ChatGPT is wrong about very NAMD-specific questions

I think this plays out across a broad variety of fields. The more into the weeds you get with your questions, the more you must tune your awareness and scrutiny for ChatGPT errors, both obvious and subtle.

My mother in law - a retired speech language pathologist - asked ChatGPT to write a treatment plan for lateral lisp. It wrote a plan claiming to treat lateral lisp, whose steps my MIL said were classic treatment for frontal lisp, instead.
