Gossamer worms call the expansive waters of the ocean’s twilight zone home. Living up in the water column, thousands of feet above the seafloor, has made Tomopteris effective swimmers. They swish their bodies side to side while rowing paddle-like parapodia.

It is clear that people are using AI to review papers and grants. Often as a tool, not as an off the bottle answer for review (though some do). One of the signs of this is the detail of the negative comments and the errors, often minor and irrelevant to the conclusions. 🧵
