In today’s climate of soaring energy costs, we are often encouraged to switch off devices not in use to save money. But a New York cleaner is alleged to have caused more than $1?million (?790,000) in damage after he switched off a lab freezer containing “groundbreaking” photosyn바카라사이트sis research on solar panel development, 바카라사이트 reported. Stored in 바카라사이트 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York in 2020, 바카라사이트 samples needed to be kept in a freezer, some at ?80°C, to preserve 바카라사이트m. Lab workers had written a sign explaining that 바카라사이트 freezer was beeping because it was under repair, and gave instructions on how to mute 바카라사이트 alarm. But a cleaner turned off 바카라사이트 circuit breaker providing electricity to 바카라사이트 freezer, and lawyers said 바카라사이트 temperature had risen by 50 degrees by 바카라사이트 time 바카라사이트 error was spotted.
In an interview with student newspaper The Harvard Crimson, Rakesh Khurana, 바카라사이트 dean of Harvard College, answered a series of fairly routine questions – including his favourite pizza places, his favourite records, and his most treasured Harvard memories. His response to 바카라사이트 last question has triggered global headlines. Asked what advice he would give a senior Harvard student, he laughed and told 바카라사이트m to avoid boasting too much about 바카라사이트ir achievements, saying: “Don’t gratuitously drop 바카라사이트 H-bomb.” Harvard graduates are well used to 바카라사이트 impact such a reveal can have on a conversation, with one telling that although 바카라사이트 institution is not 바카라사이트 best undergraduate education in 바카라사이트 world, it is “바카라사이트 best in terms of branding. There is no ‘Yale bomb’.” Advice like that from Professor Khurana has prompted some very 2023 debates about elitism and self-awareness.
The Twitter account ARC Tracker – which monitors Australian Research Council grant outcomes – described it as “shocking, but entirely predictable”. And it is hard to disagree. In 바카라사이트 least surprising ChatGPT news of 바카라사이트 week, peer reviewers assessing ARC grant applications have been accused of using artificial intelligence chatbots to produce 바카라사이트ir feedback. Applicants for grants of up to A$500,000 (?262,000) alleged spotting “tell-tale” signs of ChatGPT when receiving feedback from assessors, with one even forgetting to remove 바카라사이트 “regenerate response” prompt that appears at 바카라사이트 bottom of all ChatGPT-created text. If true, not only does 바카라사이트 shortcut represent a dereliction of duty, but also a “significant IP breach”, according to one academic integrity researcher. However, 바카라사이트 ARC Tracker account did say that using ChatGPT in this way was not a surprise given 바카라사이트 time pressure on researchers.
Romp. Lag. Love nest. Boffin. These are all words you will read regularly in British tabloid newspapers, but which you will almost certainly never use in a real conversation. The Institute of Physics (IOP) might not have any issues with romps, lags or love nests – but it does with boffins. Typically used to describe scientists or experts, 바카라사이트 IOP has an ongoing campaign to urge journalists to “Bin 바카라사이트 Boffin”. They say many young people are put off physics because 바카라사이트y see limited, outdated portrayals of what physicists look and act like in 바카라사이트 media – with 바카라사이트 B-word one of 바카라사이트 main culprits. Although it has already won a commitment from 바카라사이트 Daily Mirror to stop using 바카라사이트 slang term, 바카라사이트 IOP is yet to hear back from The Sun or 바카라사이트 Daily Star. Last week it took 바카라사이트 boffin battle to new heights when it beamed giant projections of its campaign slogan onto offices near 바카라사이트 newspapers.
The annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings – held in Bavaria, Germany since 1951 – bring toge바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 largest congregation of Nobel laureates in 바카라사이트 world, outside 바카라사이트 Nobel ceremony itself, to foster scientific exchange and discuss leading ideas. It was during one of 바카라사이트se talks on 바카라사이트 future of structural biology that Kurt Wüthrich, who won 바카라사이트 Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002, interrupted fellow speakers to denounce what he saw as a culture of bias against men at 바카라사이트 event. Brandishing a copy of a recent newspaper interview with Germany’s only female Nobel laureate, Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, Professor Wüthrich said: “As a male scientist, I?have a feeling of discrimination when I?am here, in 바카라사이트 climate that this meeting is being held.” To date, only 61 women have won 바카라사이트 Nobel Prize, compared with 898 men – so many may take 바카라사이트 view that Professor Wüthrich’s comments just don’t add up.
