It's increasingly difficult to get manuscripts peer-reviewed. One factor inflating the number of papers: Some countries (🇸🇪🇫🇮, others?) requiring a PhD student to publish multiple (~4) papers to graduate. Thus, work that could be one bigger paper is split to many small ones.

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.

psa: excel is not a database
In the UK the number of cases rose rapidly. But the public – and authorities – are only learning this now because these cases were only published now as a backlog. The reason was apparently that the database is managed in Excel and the number of columns had reached the maximum.

Brilliant. I believe I have committed all of them on numerous occasions. Minus Type IX - I accept no responsibility for that one.

PSA: if a bioinformatician is able to do any analysis fast, it is quite likely not because the analysis is easy. It is because the bioinformatician has spent hours prepping a system that allows to do it fast.
