Ai powered research workflows: Inger finally realises her dream to become a cyborg

On the reg

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us!

This one's a bit overdue folks - that's Inger's fault, don't blame Jason!

After a long catch up, where we bemoan the state of the higher education sector, and a very full mailbag, we talk about AI powered research workflows.

Inger talks Jason through her new AI enabled process for doing literature reviews, analysis and writing research papers. The crew muse on the shift in working practices how you might take advantage (or not) in your own work.

The team are looking at a teaching slide deck as they talk, which Inger stupidly altered, so you can't read along... (doh!). But you can see the final version of it, as delivered, here. The pre-print version of the paper about AI that Inger wrote can be retrieved here.

Things we mentioned:

• Reading like a Mongrel

• Bullet Journal (BuJo)
• Speechify
