I was skeptical of the $200/mo price tag for ChatGPT DeepResearch, but man is it paying off. The ability to get a cogent, well-referenced, literature review or annotated bibliography in 7 minutes is incredible. Short thread on how I've used it. Advice/feedback welcome.

One of the fun things about reading both the Danish/European and US news: On one side Trump claiming to hold all the cards, on the other EU: let us wait and let him commit more errors (paraphrasing Napoleon). wsj.com/livecoverage/s… dr.dk/nyheder/udland…

Let that sink in: Denmark beat Canada 2-1 in the quarterfinals at the Hockey Worlds!! Before the game, my family teased me that it would be amazing if Denmark would only be behind by 4 after the 1st... I am heading outside to look for flying pigs 🐖

Last month, I stepped down as an editor after 6.5 years (4 REStud; 2.5 JEEA). I have gathered a few suggestions that can help you avoid unnecessary negative referee reports.
