🍨It might seem like a simple concept, but to get ice cream right, you need three states of matter and a delicate interplay of chemistry.

@ChemistryNathan from @UTAS_ explains the science behind ice cream here:

'Men were more likely to develop diabetes than women, the scientists found. People who were so sick that they were hospitalized were more than twice as likely to go on to a diabetes diagnosis, compared with those who were not infected.'

Since #ChatGPT release there has been widespread concern in #HigherEducation institutions about its impact on #AcademicIntegrity, from facilitating cheating to performing all kinds of writing for students, academics and administrators alike

Inspired by this general call to action, Devin and I decided to determine how well ChatGPT knows Carbohydrate Chemistry and Glycobiology, should we worry? And if so, what should we worry about?

Cartoon showing SNFG symbols representing monosaccharides (sugars) using ChatGPT. Title states Can ChatGPT pass Glycobiology. Top-left vignette: fucose (red triangle) tells GlcNAc (blue square) who is using the PC, Hey GlcNAc! It is talking to us! GlcNAc replies Don't worry Fucose, it doesn't know much about you. Top right: GlcNAc says to Mannose (green circle) I think it is talking about you, man! To which Man replies Does it say I am the best? Bottom letf Sialic Acid (purple diamond) says to GalNAc (yellow square) What does it say I did? GalNAc replies All your fault, Sia. Man laughs. Bottom right fucose says to xylose (orange star) I don't think erythrulose was there...
