New replication work shows social‑science results remain uneven, even as data sharing improves. What’s striking is the growing reliance on AI—both to produce research text and to evaluate it. Scholars are rightly asking how we trust tools that now shape the studies they assess. #Science #Replication #OpenScience #AI #ResearchIntegrity #ScienceFriday

I'm listening to Science Friday talking about how GLP-1 medications may affect addition.

One of the guests made the point that many people have used alcohol to not feel things that may be troubling their life, and that while GLP-1 may take away the desire to drink, it doesn't treat the underlying problems. Thus GLP-1s may need to be accompanied by something else to help them deal with the feelings they've been avoiding with alcohol.
