Had an interesting panel discussion on "Where Should #AI Stop in #Science?" with fellow panelists David Resnik, Rory McGreal, Catherine Chen, and Javier Ramirez.

#Metascience from the @snsf_ch data team

Interesting reading. But this line from the author felt piercing, “note: I personally view wanting to be first to a discovery as a relatively fixed behavioral quality of scientists for at least the next few generations.” When did we become about priority > purpose? #scisci #metascience #histsci

How to justify the use of prompts in research studies?

2/2 Yet a seniority gap remains: women had 27% lower odds of last authorship, a position that often signals seniority or lab leadership and was still most commonly held by men.

Music psychology is more balanced than many STEM fields, but barriers to senior leadership remain. #gender #metascience

Blogged about how what is possible now with AI shows how poorly served we have been by tech up to this point https://idiolect.org.uk/notes/2026/09/10/actual-personalisation/

We ran our sex-of-participants model over all of human PubMed: 12.9M studies, 1960–2025.

The mono-sex gap has flipped. 1960s: 46% male-only vs 22% female-only. 2020s: female-only (18%) overtakes male-only (17%) for the first time.

Mapping the sex & age of study participants across all of human PubMed (~13M abstracts) with a BiomedBERT model trained on MeSH check-tags (sex accuracy ~90%).

Preliminary, on 7M studies so far: 56% both sexes, 23% male-only, 21% female-only.
