Trish Greenhalgh<p>Gonna write a paper about a paradox. Systematic reviews squash primary studies into tables; meta-analyses sum the findings of similar studies. 'Homogeneity' tends to be valued. But the REALLY pivotal studies are often unique, distinctive, imaginative, break-the-rules kind. Thoughts? <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23academicsky" target="_blank">#academicsky</a></p>

Dr D<p>And to top off my rather bathetic experience of a “research trip” - the manuscript I’d gone to see had been either lent out or was being conserved, so I had to make do with a facsimile. 🤣 What’s the crappiest or weirdest research trip you’ve had, <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23academicsky" target="_blank">#academicsky</a> ?</p>

Trish Greenhalgh<p>Today I asked AI to summarise an academic paper. The actual results were the opposite to what was hypothesised (and to what others had shown). The AI summary assumed the study had found what everyone else had found.
