With ChatGPT a huge fad, students may be excited that their next paper will be easy, because if it is truly AI it will start from the unique seed you give it. Yet it does not work that way. Language models that generate text in response to user prompts use a lot of the same training materials, which means they can plagiarize content in multiple ways.

COVID-19 has done little to boost vaccination rates against other viruses, according to a new analysis.

In a recent survey, just over 50 percent said they had received a flu vaccine, unchanged in a representative national panel from the comparable period last year and within the usual range of years prior to the pandemic. Before people thought COVID-19 was just a bad cold (coronavirus is in the same family and was only declared distinct in the 1960s) they thought the flu was a bad cold. Or believed they were more likely to get the flu if they had a vaccine.

We have a body clock that changes with exposure to sun and a new study finds that while humans don't hibernate, we do sleep longer in the winter. 

It's easy to get a penalty waiver from the federal government if your wind power installation kills an eagle, but if such alternative energy ever becomes more widespread, winged creature deaths of all kinds could be substantial.

Current mitigation strategies are efforts like blanket curtailment, which slows blade rotation to less than one revolution per minute at the low wind speeds which have been found to cause the highest number of bat fatalities. Wind power is not viable now, and such an unsophisticated procedure applying a general wind speed threshold for all wind turbines for a longer period of time causes even more loss of energy generation.

For as long as wheat flour has been used for food, a small number of people have been allergic to the gluten in it. These celiac disease sufferers experience stomach pain, nausea and even intestinal damage. More recently, gluten-free food became a new diet craze and while it was ridiculous biologically, it turned gluten-free food into a diverse $4 billion market, which was good for the celiac community.

Flour can now be made from banana peels, almonds and various grains and new work adds sweet potatoes into the mix.

A new study found that a cup of coffee with milk may create a combination of proteins and antioxidants that doubles the anti-inflammatory properties in immune cells. 

That doesn't mean you should listen to 'food is medicine' advocates and start putting dairy in everything, this was a cell study, which is even lower than studies in mice on the human relevance scale.
