- andaiHere is the paperhttps://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ad7fe6

- iwontberudeIs this important? I see we have a model which has not found anything officially, has been validated by no one nor has the science reproduced.
- cramcgrabAI is great!
- parpfishMaybe I’m cynical, but whenever I read about a high school kid making a science breakthrough I assume this is what happened (based partially on personal experience):- the lab PI has a friend who’s kid needs to put together a college application- PI asks their postdoctoral to tee up a project for the kid.- kid does the last 2% of the project but gets all the credit while being unaware of how much background legwork was needed to get them there. Postdoc gets nothing.
