Podcasts about Jedi

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; even though we are Celebrating our 10th Year of Podcasting; we unfortunately exhausted all our energy on the Previous SDCC Reveals & Announcements Ep. So we are giving you a ReIssue episode instead from the Vault. (Originally Posted as Ep #143 - from October 2019). Original blurb: It’s a very special ep as we’re joined by not one, but two of favourite guests in Davey Damaged and Scotty so that’s right – it’s a Homer episode! Trent takes us through a vintage retrospective look at The Addams family by Playmates. Perfectly timed for Halloween, we wonder what could have been with this short-lived line and look to the future of the franchise as a new movie approaches. What characters didn’t get made, which ones make the camera glow and where does MC Hammer fit into it all? We make the jump to Show and Tell as Davey tries to trump us all with a purchase so large, we doubt it will actually fit in his toy room! There’s some DC, MOTU and even Final Fantasy options to choose from. Frank gives a lovely tribute showing that sometimes, the value of a toy; lays in more than its sticker price. Then it’s Quiz time and with Davey onboard, anything is possible. To say this episode goes off the rails is putting it mildly – but on the plus side we learnt that Trent can’t hold his liquor, Ben thinks photos record sound, Space Jam was an event and Rick Moranis is Trent’s muse. So hold on for this crazy ride that also serves as a farewell for one of the team…Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI detectors, one of my personal favorite subjects to rant about. But Katie, before I foam at the mouth for 30 minutes, let’s have you foam at the mouth about it. Katie Robbert: It’s such an interesting topic and obviously very polarizing right now. AI detectors in a nutshell are meant to help someone determine whether or not AI was used in any kind of writing. Now our good friend Anne Hanley pointed out, oh sure. So these AI detectors that were trained on human authors’ writings without their consent are now meant to tell these people that they didn’t write the things that the model was trained on. I’m paraphrasing, but it was basically that was the gist. And last week when we published the weekly Inbox Insights newsletter, we had a reader provide some very unpleasant feedback. This reader felt, in their opinion, that they had determined that the post I had written about “if you don’t know what AI can do, just ask it” was completely written by AI and that I should be fired. That I was lying about the use of AI in terms of it wrote it for me, that it was AI slop, that this person was going to write their own blog post about how I, the CEO of a company called Trust Insights, can’t be trusted. So that was the feedback this person had for my contribution to the newsletter last week. This week, if you subscribe to Inbox Insights, I fully disclose my use of AI in writing the newsletter and writing in general. I’m going to give you a spoiler because there’s no secret. I write the newsletter myself. I then use various AI tools to hopefully clean it up. Because the feedback I got when I was in college in my creative writing class is that I write the way that I talk. And it’s kind of a stream of consciousness. Now, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten a little bit more concise and articulate, but that doesn’t mean my writing has. And so it still kind of comes out as a stream of consciousness, which I think for any writer that’s doing draft one is you just get it out. It’s why it’s called the ugly first draft, and then some people… I used to have John, our head of business development and our partner, read through and edit my posts for me. This was prior to having tools like Hemingway or AI editors. I had a human editing it. Now John’s busy making sales. He’s still happy to edit my posts, but it’s not the best use of his time. And so now I use a tool called Hemingway, which a lot of people use. Hemingway has a lot of really great features for grammar and sentence structure. I’m not trained, and I don’t have a degree in writing or English. My grammar is really bad sometimes. Sometimes I overuse passive voice. Sometimes my sentences aren’t structured well. It’s helpful to have a tool that can clean up the thing without losing the intent and sentiment of the writing. I also use our Ask the ICP skills in our cloud environment to make sure that the post that I’m writing resonates with our audience. Because if it doesn’t, why am I writing it? So I use those various tools. So the point of the newsletter this week that I dive into is, yes, I use AI to supplement and clean up my writing. No, AI does not write for me. I’ve got 10 fingers, one with a bandage, so it goes a little slower. And I type with my thumbs, typing very slowly. So sometimes I use an audio recording of me speaking something. Chris, this is something you do. But, yes, I painfully type all of my newsletters very slowly. And then AI helps me clean them up to be more concise. I don’t think that’s an uncommon practice, especially among people. This is true of, I think, Ann even posted in her newsletter this past week. Christopher S. Penn: Week. Katie Robbert: Total anarchy if you’re not subscribed. How she uses AI with her writing as well. And she said she gives it explicit instructions: read through it, review it, don’t edit anything, tell me what the edits are supposed to be. So she’s also someone who we know and love, who is a very fantastic writer, finding ways to use these tools to help enhance the writing. It can be cost prohibitive to have a human editor on your team. You may not have access to a copywriter, or you may not have a team of people who are really great at editing. There’s a lot of… So AI can fill that role for you. I’ll say it like this: I wrote the newsletter. AI helped me edit it, so it was coherent. So unfortunately for this reader, I will not be firing myself. I would appreciate you not trying to destroy my credibility, but should you choose to do so, we will deal with it at that time. Christopher S. Penn: I’m surprised you didn’t bring this up because this is the heart of the matter to me. If we think about these AI detectors, why are you using them? Why do you care? What is the purpose of an AI detector by the 5P Framework by Trust Insights? Of course. Katie Robbert: Well, the five P’s are in this week’s newsletter, so you can certainly get your healthy dose of the 5P Framework by Trust Insights. But you’re absolutely right, Chris, and that’s a miss on my part because I am human and not a sentient machine. I missed the mark on calling out that the 5P Framework by Trust Insights is a great place to start. Why are you using these AI tools? So, for me, my purpose is to edit the grammar and spelling of my content so that it’s coherent. I’m also checking with our ICP to make sure it resonates with the people I’m writing it for. But our ICP is the people part of it that really matters, because I’m not writing it for myself. I’m writing from my experience and my expertise, but I’m writing it for… For our ICP so that they get something educational out of it. I outlined my process in this week’s newsletter of how and when I use the tools and platforms. It depends. I might write it in a document, I might create an audio file, and then I’ll bring it into the large language model. I might use Hemingway. I definitely use the skills that we’ve created. And then the performance is, do I have a piece of content that I wrote and AI helped me edit that gets people to respond to the newsletter? Christopher S. Penn: It is the 5P Framework. From the perspective of the people who are using or advocating for AI detectors, what is their purpose? Because this is where I have the biggest problem I see. Yeah, no, no. From the AI detector perspective, what is your purpose in the case of this particular reader? Is your purpose just that you have a burr up your ass and you need to yell at somebody? Like, okay, you don’t need an AI detector for that. You can be a jackass. Regardless, in the case of its use in academia, the purpose is very often for academic integrity, which makes these tools very dangerous because of their false positive rate. Pangram, which is the tool that Substack most famously just implemented, has a false positive rate of 0.02 percent. If you fed every college student’s papers in America to it and said, run disciplinary proceedings, you would flag 200,000 students a year with false accusations. In the corporate world, if you’re using these tools to enforce contracts, again, that false positive rate—particularly for business-related content, which is what a lot of these tools have been trained on—is going to have a fairly high false positive rate. So the first thing people need to be very clear about is why are you using an AI detector? And is your purpose a good use of the technology? Spoiler, there really isn’t a great use of the technology for AI detection. And we’ll talk about why the technology itself is so flawed on this week’s live stream, which you can tune into Thursdays at 1 PM Eastern Time at TrustInsights.ai YouTube. But going back to the 5P Framework by Trust Insights, my biggest issue with these tools is that very often the purpose people are using them for is deeply flawed. Katie Robbert: And that, you can sort of generalize and say that, well, people don’t want AI-written content. They want content written by a human. So you could say that’s the purpose. So if this particular reader decided, I don’t want AI-written content, but this content is written by AI, this particular reader could have just moved along. But they decided to try and pick a fight. By the way, screenshots last forever. And it was a very unprofessional feedback session from this person, just as an FYI. And you know, if this person decided, okay, I feel like this is written by AI, let me put it through the detector and determine if this is written by AI. They could have just said, you know what? I don’t care for this. I don’t want this. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that’s what I always come back to is like, if you don’t want this, great, here’s the door. It’s like if people complain, oh, well, you didn’t write this fiction novel the way I wanted, well, then write your own damn novel. Right? No one’s stopping you from writing the novel you want to read. If you didn’t like the way I did it, go write your own and you’ll probably use AI to do it. This was the rather harsh commentary I had about Substack. Things like, we don’t really care if it’s human-written or AI-written. We care if it’s worth reading, right? If you’re publishing something that’s worth reading, there’s one Substack I subscribe to that is 100 percent AI-written. No editing passes. It is 100 percent Claude. You know it’s Claude because of Claude’s particular mechanisms. And I don’t care because the information is genuinely useful. I read it and go, I learned something. I don’t care who wrote it. I learned something. Katie Robbert: But that’s you and I, and I don’t disagree. People should be looking at it from that lens. But a lot of the general population is still stuck in the, AI is bad. It’s very black and white. Humans are good, AI is bad, don’t give me AI-written content. And so that’s still the challenge that we’re trying to overcome in the conversation that we’re trying to change. And so if their purpose is, was it written by AI, yes or no, then that’s what we have to work with, because that’s their purpose, not ours. Our opinion of their purpose is very similar to this reader’s opinion of my use of AI. As the old saying goes, opinions are like… well, you can fill in the blanks if, I won’t say it on the podcast. It’s very rude. But the point being is that you do need to figure out why you care if it was written by AI or not. And then you can go ahead and determine, was it high quality? Did I learn something? Was it useful? And then go back to the purpose, like, does it matter if it was written by AI? Now it brings up the bigger conversation, which Chris and I have talked about: AI disclosures and why those are important. And so in your newsletter, you do a very good job every week of disclosing. Here’s how much of this is AI. Here’s how I used AI. And I want to say thank you to the person who called me out because it reminded me this is a good opportunity to start doing my own AI disclosures so that hopefully we don’t continue to find ourselves in the situation of being called names. Christopher S. Penn: And so you cannot rely on them. I will give you a very solid example this week in my personal newsletter. I said, It’s 90 percent written by human. There’s 10 percent written by Claude. And I mark the section: This is what Claude said. And then just for giggles, I put it through the detector. And it said, Congratulations, it’s 100 percent human. I’m like, well, you clearly missed the part where I labeled it this is AI. So anyway, just more ranting about the tooling. The disclosures are important. And I do understand from some perspectives. There are some folks who correctly say they have problems with the ethics of AI companies or the environmental impact of AI. Totally get that, totally fair, completely reasonable. But again, it goes back to what you were saying, which is if we label it—which we all, everyone should be doing—and you are still mad, go read something that isn’t. There is an infinite amount of content out there that’s video or audio. Where I do have a problem and I think is very relevant to the conversation on the topic of AI detection is when it is not labeled or when it is intended to deceive. There is no shortage, for example right now on Instagram and TikTok, of various politicians making faked videos and photos. And thankfully they’re not doing it very well. But, okay, clearly that’s not a… that doesn’t work. But they are. The intent is to deceive. So if we go back to the 5P Framework by Trust Insights, their purpose is deception, right? And therein lies one of the valid reasons to want to use AI detectors to say, is this entity or person attempting to deceive me? Katie Robbert: I’m going to be, I’m going to challenge you on that for a second. Okay, so let’s say I’m a politician and I’m going to use AI. I can almost guarantee I’m not going to state that my purpose is deception. I’m going to state that my purpose is engagement, my purpose is attention. My purpose is oh gosh, anything probably except deception. So it’s interesting because like we can say as an outside observer, well, they’re trying to deceive us. They’re going to say with that lack of self-awareness, this is the way that I saw this thing happen. So, you know, I’m using the tools to reenact it or recreate the way that I see this. So it’s really an educational tool or whatever. So I do feel like it’s interesting that we’re saying their purpose is deception. They’re saying, no, that was never my purpose. Why would I ever want to deceive you? I’m totally honest. I’m showing you what’s possible. I’m showing you the way that I see things. Christopher S. Penn: And this gets us into the extremely deep and sticky morass known as AI ethics, which is again going back to the 5P Framework by Trust Insights. What is the purpose and is the purpose that you think you have aligned with the audience and the goals you’re trying to achieve? Because yes, attention can be a goal, but what’s the purpose behind that attention? Is it to garner more votes? Is it to beat the social media algorithms that are gatekeeping various viewpoints? What is the purpose of creating something that you know is not real? Katie Robbert: You are giving these fictional politicians a lot of credit for that deep thinking and self-awareness, but it does. You brought up AI ethics and Inbox Insights in the same issue this week coming up, where I talk about my process for using AI tools in my writing. You conclude a four-part series on responsible AI using our RAFT framework, and part four being transparency, which is really timely for what we’re talking about. One of the things that you bring up in that four-part series, and it’s brought up in a few of the different issues, is so companies whose mission statement is, and I’m paraphrasing—I apologize, Chris—something along the lines of companies who state out that they’re going to do bad things and they also are doing them, are technically following their own code of ethics. And so it’s the “do as I say, not as I do” or no, it’s the “here’s what: you do what you say and you say what you do, right?” So they do that. So therefore they are following a code of ethics. And that’s where, again, it gets really tricky. But I want to bring that up. Because responsible AI is not black and white. Ethics is not black and white. Christopher S. Penn: So no, and the reason for that is because ethics and morals are often conflated. They are different; they are completely different philosophical disciplines. But in the utilitarian ethics that a lot of the business world works on, “I do what I say and I say what I do” are essentially sort of the heart of that. So going back to the purpose of things like AI detectors, if you say this is real and it’s fake, that is unethical. If you say this is fake and it’s fake, that is ethical, right? It may or may not be moral. That is a different question because morals are based on the culture of the person and the culture that it occurs in. But from an ethics perspective, if I say this is fake and this is fake, I am behaving in an ethical manner. And so where this loops back around is to say, on the part of publishers and creators, we have an ethical obligation to be transparent and disclose. And on the part of AI detectors and the people using them, you have an obligation to be clear about what your purpose is. If your purpose is you just want to feel morally superior to someone else and you say that’s fine, you’re, I think you’re a jerk, but at least it’s clear. If you say that you’re trying to preserve the environment or what have you, but you really just want to feel morally superior, that is itself unethical because you’re not doing as you say and you’re not saying what you do. And so it is incumbent upon everybody using these tools in whatever capacity to disclose why you’re doing it and disclose how the results are going to be used. This is especially true for academia, for law, and for contracts. You have to be clear and say, we are using these tools for this purpose. And here is how we will measure the success of these tools. The performance, the fifth P in the 5P Framework by Trust Insights. You have to declare that, and if you don’t, yourself may have an ethics problem. Katie Robbert: I recently submitted an academic paper, and it was very clear in the instructions that I had to do a very large AI disclosure section on how AI was used to assemble the paper. And in that paper, if I recall correctly, I used AI to do the deep research. I then culled through the deep research to find the relevant parts for writing the paper for which I had a hypothesis. I drafted the paper. I used AI to help me clean up the paper and make it a more coherent story. And then I had to create two images, a graph and another supplemental image, and disclose what parts I used AI on. Here’s the question, though. So back to where we started, what do you do in the situation where you, the human, created the thing the detectors say, no, you didn’t? It’s AI and everybody believes the machines and not you. Like that’s not a matter of ethics anymore. That’s your reputation. Christopher S. Penn: And therein lies the problem with a lot of these detectors. The detectors are pattern matching. And again, we’ll talk about the mathematics of it this week on the live stream. But fundamentally, they’re looking at probabilities. And so if what you are creating, which academic papers in particular have a very specific kind of language to them that is highly formulaic, a pattern matching system—even if it’s 100 percent human-written—is still likely to pick it up. The example I often give is there’s a quote from Star Wars, from The Empire Strikes Back, where Yoda says, “For 800 years have I trained Jedi. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained.” Right? That’s Yoda. If you… if Yoda was to dictate that and then AI was to clean up the grammar, it would say, “I have trained Jedi for 800 years. I will keep my own council on who is to be trained.” Exact same words. AI’s just rearranging the word sequence, which dramatically changes the probabilities. And that second quote, which is still substantially the same as the first one, but with a different word order, will be flagged as AI or more likely be flagged as AI. Because in the process of editing, AI assembles things to the highest level of probability. And so for anybody, if you were doing that—as we often recommend—taking your phone out, doing a voice memo, and then having AI transcribe it and rearrange it, unless you know how to prompt it to preserve your word order, it’s going to change the language and it’s going to get flagged by AI. Even though you have proof from the voice memo itself that what you created was original. So a big part of what creators may want to think about, and this is the prescriptive part, is that I’ve actually talked about this with our friend Carrie Gorgon, who’s a lawyer. You may want to have a system where you preserve or even publish the work product that led to the final work product. I have done this with several of my books now where I publish the absolutely awful-to-listen-to voice recordings, like as I’m driving down the road. And you know, that’s usually in the deluxe edition, if you want to hear me yelling at people in traffic like, get out of the way, jackass. As part of the recordings, you can. But it also provides that provenance and lineage to say, here’s what the final product was manipulated by AI. Yes, here’s the original work product that proves that it’s a human original. Katie Robbert: But I think that also goes back to again, where we started. And you know, the commentary we referenced from Ann is that these tools are word prediction machines that have been trained on human words. We are the ones who taught it. Here are the predictable patterns that we use when we write and when we speak. Therefore, these machines, well or not well, are mimicking the way that we talk and the way that we write. Therefore, those AI detectors are detecting patterns that we taught as humans on our writing. Like it’s very… I feel like you go round and round forever. But the point being is that these tools are dangerous and can be very damaging if used incorrectly, which most people… Are using them incorrectly because they have the wrong purpose. Right? So if their purpose is to, I am angry and want to lash out at the world and I want to tear someone down today, congratulations. You are accomplishing your purpose with your performance. If your purpose, yeah, if your purpose is to like really just understand, then you know it’s going to be a while before these tools get more sophisticated. They’re not very good. Christopher S. Penn: No. And they never will because they’re always going to be reactive to whatever the latest models are capable of doing. It’s interesting. This actually inspires me as part of our upcoming AI for Writers course that we’re assembling for the Trust Insights Academy. But also maybe something that we should include is a skill that can assist people in creating stuff that sounds more like their human version. There are deterministic measures to do that, and maybe we’ll talk about that a little bit on the live stream as well. But if you’ve got some thoughts about AI detectors and their use or misuse, and you want to share them or your own experiences of dealing with them, post in our Free Slack Group.

What happens when the people who raised you decide you're guilty before you get a chance to prove otherwise? Matthew and Erin spend this episode of Star Wars Generations on one of “The Clone Wars”' most consequential stretches, season five's “Sabotage” through “The Wrong Jedi,” where Ahsoka Tano is framed for bombing the Jedi Temple, expelled from the Order, and left to clear her own name while the people who trained her hesitate to have her back.They get into why the Jedi's rigid rulebook makes the whole system brittle, and how Barriss Offee's betrayal lands differently than Pong Krell's ever did. Ventress and Ahsoka's unlikely alliance gets airtime too, along with a devastating Padawan braid scene and a theory about how much Palpatine actually orchestrated. So why didn't Ahsoka come back in time to help Anakin before it was too late?Full show notes and resourcesPaul Hoppe's book: Friday Night Is My Monday Morning.

We've been misled into believing that time, money, power, and control are the key ingredients to shaping our physical reality. Once you step aside the treadmill, you know, you've bought into the crunchy illusion of a world limited by your perception. Whether Earth is a ‘Waiting Room', a battlefield, or a mere chaotic place where humans try to figure out who they are and what their purpose is, your level of energy will have a direct effect on how you move on life's chessboard. Feeling drained and lacking the energy to get out of bed, play with your children, build a business, pursue your hobbies, or go after your dreams is anything but healthy. And when we ‘normalize' this state and call it ‘OK,' we're doing ourselves, the people we love, and our communities a huge disservice. Humans are not zombies. We are powerful, energetic beings, equipped with a plethora of talents and gifts. We are here to create and use our unique blueprints to protect this beautiful planet. When the Jedi Doesn't Succumb to An Insane Society Lost. Glued to a screen. Wondering shoeless-clueless. Lacking self-worth. Expecting answers from a silicon machine. This is definitely not who we are, nor why we're here. You see, when your energy is high, you are unstoppable. You chase your dreams relentlessly. You love and serve your brothers and sisters unselfishly. Furthermore, you enjoy life by living fully in the present moment and experiencing bliss. This translates into: Taking care of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body. Nourishing your sacred temple, aka your body, with clean food and water. Exercising regularly to strengthen your energetic field. Getting good-quality sleep to recharge your batteries fully. Finding inner peace by bathing in stillness. Turning inwards to allow intuition, aka that deep knowing, to reveal the blind spots and what your eyes can't see. Remembering to breathe deeply and release energy blockages. Is this place a maze? A highly sophisticated labyrinth? Is energy being harvested? It's a possibility. However, that doesn't make you a less powerful player or a Jedi to reckon with. Master Your Energy. Build. Create. Live Passionately. Nobody is coming to save you. You are the one you've been waiting for. The sooner this gets into your head, the better. Reclaim your freedom and sovereignty in a world gone crazy. Step up your game. Sit down and define specifically what it is you want to achieve, accomplish, and build. You're here to create. Stop giving your power away. Stop asking for permission to deploy your talents, skills, and knowledge. Stop looking for outside factors and validators to fill your perceived vacuum of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-respect. You're not broken despite the many times you've been tricked into believing you are. Go inwards. Drop into your heart. Know that you are a miracle. Now, get off your ass, Jedi, and show yourself what you've got. Krisz Rokk Original content without using AI.

At Indiana Comic Convention - Bryan Young hosted a discussion about Star Wars and Star Trek being two sides of the same coin, both helpful mythologies for folks looking to craft better inner-lives and better societies around them.

In Episode 156, hosts Alyce and Laura are really sweating* through that Corporate Life this summer! Yay! WHY IS IT SO F---IN HOT??!! This show/episode is STILL NOT sponsored by Cinemark, but it really should be! Related note: Alyce has gone platinum A new experience is brewing for Star Wars fans! Sounds like we'll learn more at San Diego Comic Con in a few weeks, but Philly fans get to experience the Experience first (via starwars.com) In today's “news” that's not really news, but more of an observation: the next Star Wars movie won't have the same cast as past Star Wars movies. If you can believe it. Wow. (via Screenrant) Star Wars: Visions is coming back soon to confuse all the normies about whether or not it's canon (via The Direct) Here's the link to the trailer for Star Wars: Visions - The Ninth Jedi series After being let down by Lucasfilm nixing the Ben Solo film, will a comic be enough to satisfy the thirsty fans? (via Collider) If you want to get a jump on reading the upcoming YA romance novel, Star Wars: Eyes Like Stars by Ashley Poston, Amazon has a sample of the first 3 chapters. In a follow up from The High Republic: Trail of Shadows, does anyone know how to pronounce “Sian” in Star Wars?  Laura's a bug murderer. Pest homicide. Pesticide… wait, no If you dream it and wish it, you too can be a pesticidal murderer with this bugsaber (not an ad, we just want one real bad) May the Fourth: A Star Wars origin story Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.

By the time the paper hit version 71, Dr. Nirosha Murugan had already done the hard part. The data were real. The experiment had worked. A team of researchers had used a wearable bioreactor to trigger limb regeneration in frogs, a result with obvious implications for regenerative medicine. But the science still wasn't getting over the line. The problem wasn't the work. It was the translation.On this episode of Standard Deviation, host Oliver Bogler talks with Dr. Nirosha Murugan, a biophysicist and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Tissue Biophysics at Wilfrid Laurier University, about what happens when a scientist working at the edges of quantum biology, bioelectricity, and tissue regeneration runs headfirst into the unwritten rules of academic publishing. Murugan's research asks biologists to think beyond molecules and chemistry alone, and to consider the physical signals, electromagnetic fields, and invisible forces that shape development and healing. It is ambitious science. It is also exactly the kind of work that can make gatekeepers nervous.Bogler follows Murugan through the less glamorous part of discovery: the hidden curriculum of getting a paper published, securing scientific credibility, and learning that data do not simply “speak for themselves.” Murugan describes how jargon buried the pitch of her own work, how a lack of editorial support left her at a disadvantage, and how the JEDI program at the Life Science Editors Foundation paired her with a former journal editor who taught her how to structure a manuscript, write a cover letter, and survive peer review.The result was publication in Science Advances, but the larger story is about power. Who gets taught the rules of biomedical research. Who has access to grant writers, editors, and institutional polish. Who is left to brute-force their way through the maze. And how one scientist, having finally found the map, now makes sure her own trainees do not have to learn it the hard way.RELATED LINKSDr. Nirosha Murugan⁠Wilfrid Laurier University⁠Life Science Editors Foundation⁠JEDI Program⁠Science Advances paper on limb regeneration⁠FEEDBACKLike this episode?
