It’s great finding stem cell videos on YouTube that are either excellent research talks or provide important information. I recently found one such video by Shiri Gur-Cohen, which I included below.
Interesting data there and Shiri is such a compelling speaker. She also won The Niche image contest one year with a cool microscopy pic of regenerating hair follicles.
Of course, YouTube also has thousands of crappy stem cell videos that are selling bunk.
If you like good stem cell-related videos check out The Niche YouTube channel and subscribe. We’re over 860 subscribers and our initial goal is to get over 1,000 so please help us get there.
I also accept guest videos so let me know if you are up for doing one and what the topic you have in mind. It could be on stem cells, CRISPR, regenerative medicine of some other kind, or other interesting new technologies. Ethical questions are also important to cover.
Google Bard is not reliable for bio research so far
Can we researchers make use of AI like Google’s Bard to help us find relevant data? I’d steer clear for now.
Why?
I’ve done a little testing of Google’s Bard AI for research questions. It consistently makes up papers that do not exist when asked research questions. Just one example is that I asked it about papers on the Myc family in bat brain development. As with many other queries, it just made up papers that do not exist (see below). Usually when you follow up with “Did you make up these papers?” it admits it. This time it didn’t admit it but confirmed they don’t exist.
