Periodic Tables - “Partner or Plagiarist? Generative AI and Writing for Researchers...and the Rest of Us”

Periodic Tables is an informal science gathering during which invited speakers share interesting, relevant science to the general public in an engaging and interactive way.

How are people using tools like ChatGPT in their writing processes, and what does that mean for how we learn to write and do research? In this interactive session, we’ll explore video examples of both students and expert writers incorporating generative AI into their work. How can we use generative AI in ways that are both ethical and effective?
