Trust in science and the changing language of research
This week’s newsletter looks at trust in science and the changing language of research, from unusual phrases in published papers and questionable peer reviews to what makes a meta-analysis credible. We also explore AI agents built from scientific papers, how language shapes what we remember, and the pressures facing science journalism. Plus, save the date for our December MedComms meeting, read four perspectives on medically unexplained symptoms, and find out how MedSciCommsNet is supporting Forgotten Patients. Our events roundup and titbits cover everything from healthcare innovation and medical writing to synthetic biology, bias in healthcare AI and why being awake after midnight may affect how we think.
