#rat penis

[birdsandproblems]

Im fucking crying has anyone seen the AI diagrams in the Scientific Study yet?

So, there was a Paper published on the 13th February 2024.

It was published in Frontiers in Cell and developemental Biology, titled

"Cellular functions of spermatogonial stem cells in relation to JAK/STAT signaling pathway""

So far so good, right?

Not knowing anything about the topic, youd exepect a regular Paper: full of scientific theories hopefully to be confirmed and used to widen our human horizons with knowledge.

WRONG. 10 METERS RAT PENIS

Figure 1: Dissilced rat penis.

YES. This was a real picture included in the Paper. I think even without looking at rat dicks regularly (or if ever), you can /kinda/ guess this looks wrong.

If you dont know anything about rat dicks (dont blame you) seeing text like "iollotte sserotgomar cell" or "dck" or "di§locttal stem ells" should make you go hm. Mayhaps this may be wrong.

Another graphic shows the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.

This...is wrong. You cant read the labels. Its wrong and theres non existing symbols and letters and just imagine, imagine youre a newbie Student or scientist or even regular non-academic trying to read this.

Its teaches you nothing and only gives false information.

Of course, this paper passed /2 reviewers/ who said nothing is wrong with it!

This is absolutly unacceptable. Luckily the paper has been retracted now (16.02.2024)

But this is unacceptable. It should never have passed ANY reviewers and saying their job is to rate the scientific merit of the text without looking at the pictures is pure bullshit.

In a scientific papers, graphics and diagrams should have and need scientific merit and integrity, this is the whole point of writing it!

Shame on anyone for letting it get published and i wish the authors would have commissioned someone or even created graphics themselves- no matter how 'crude' or non aesthetic, any graphic drawn in a scientific manner is a thousand times better than AI. Please, stop using AI for important things like that.

I cant say much to the content of the text, but if this was a great paper- now its forever ruined as the Rat dick paper and i wouldnt trust any of the scientists working on it to have honesty and integrity on new papers. I wouldnt publish them.

Lazyness in academia is one thing, but this is just...so bad its sad.

Now, lets look some cells from the paper, shall we?

(I am in distress. This is not a cell.

This is not a cell girl help)

To end this on a better note, shout out to this great tweet lmao!

I am following this story and every new detail brings a fresh whiff of both chagrin and whimsy.

i don’t know if this blowing up anywhere besides science twitter but a paper got peer reviewed and published in a frontiers journal (which are known as like mid tier but still reputable) that has this massive AI generated rat penis figure and some other nonsensical AI figures and yeah it probably speaks to how the peer review system is broken and the process of sharing and vetting science is doomed etc but also it’s SOOOO funny to me to see people so dramatic like “if someone had a shred of courage and integrity” about big penis rat

Fox, having just sat down at his desk with a steaming hot cup of caf:

Thorn, peeking into Fox's office: Fox, we got a TIT in progress at Senator Bartoni's residence.

Fox, groaning: Send in Plumber Squad with the capture equipment. They know the drill...

Thorn, nodding on his way out: Roger that.

Fox, shakes his head and takes a sip of his caf:

Thire, running into Fox's office: Sir! We have a PENIS warning!

Fox, sighing: Is Feather out of the medbay yet?

Thire: Negative.

Fox: Send in Crackerjack then.

Thire: Crackerjack is also in the medbay.

Fox: Then ask Stone to pull Wingdings from his shift at the prison.

Thire, rushing off: On it!

Fox, massaging his temples: One normal morning... That's all I'm asking...

Hound, looking in: Sir, one of Senator Roszvel's Aides got eaten by a ROUS.

Fox, throwing his hands up in defeat: KARKING DAMN IT!

In all seriousness tho, I had really high expectations for Nosferatu (2024) and all of them were fulfilled. I really think it combined the best of the previous two Nosferatu movies (1922 & 1979) with the best of Dracula (the novel). I also like that it didn’t shy away from the inherently sexual nature of vampirism. Also, Lily-Rose Depp was downright amazing as Ellen; she gave me chills. 10/10

what.

[cappychino]

am i stupid or is this the funniest shot ever put to film

I need to read a fic about Miguel scaring the absolute shit out of the spider-kids; like tearing out people's hearts and eyes then eating them level of scary. I want him to lose his complete shit because he's spiderlings got hurt. Now they're just so terrified of him and Miguel doesn't know what to do. 😔

Please I need this fic so badly. 😭🙏

there's something sooo cringe about how certain type of us liberals talk about politics. it's so juvenile. it's like they never evolved beyond 2016 'orange man' 'let's call him drump'. saying someone has a small dick or bad tan job isn't resistance...

Check ur strawpage >:)

GWUAGH OKAY!!! OKAY I'L

HELLO!!???!?!

[hardcorehashbrown]

it’s cool being a published researcher and all but answering reviewer comments is gonna be the death of me

like ik i’m stupid but getting comments from other stupid scientists who couldn’t even be bothered to properly read the manuscript makes me want to hack into the editors email and track down the reviewers so i can yell at them in person

As we all Dracula Daily again, I would like to take the time to remind you all that The Route of Ice and Salt by Jose Luis Zarate is about Dracula’s boat trip on the Demeter from Varna to Whitby and is the most hysterically horny and gay book I have ever read and I am always miffed as to why it is not more popular
