Nature or Nurture: LMC-like Dust in the Solar Metallicity Galaxy M31
Using the {\it Hubble Space Telescope}/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, ultraviolet (UV) extinction curves have been measured in M31 along thirteen new sightlines, increasing the M31 sample to seventeen. This sample covers a wide area of M31 having galactocentric distances of 5 to 16 kpc, enabling the analysis of UV extinction curve variations over a large region of an external galaxy similar to the Milky Way with global galactic characteristics such as metallicity for the first time. No c…

Reproducibility and scientific interpretation in the age of AI: consilience in biological systematics, ecology, and molecular biology
Achieving complete reproducibility in science, particularly in research fields such as biodiversity, is challenging due to analytical choices, bias and interpretation. Here, we examine examples of reproducibility in biological systematics, ecology, and molecular biology. To mitigate the impact of interpretation and analytical choices, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has provided potential tools. In the present work, while emphasizing the need for methodological rigor and transparency, we acknowled…
