One method underneath.
One stream shows you something you can make this week. The other looks at what is being claimed, and what the evidence actually supports. Both end at a skill you can practise.

EVERGREEN PRACTICE · THE SCIENTIST
A promising AI finding still needs a good study
The observation is yours. So is the original question. Explore how GenAI can help you shape the investigation around it.
The moment you recognise
An interesting observation. The beginnings of a research question.
Try it with this synthetic material
A fictional research team notices that students who voluntarily attend extra teaching sessions score higher on a later quiz. Attendance was not randomly assigned; prior attainment and motivation were not measured.
Make something useful
Separate observation from causal hypothesis. List confounders and compare two study designs that could test the question. Do not invent results.
Your check: Separate supplied facts from suggestions. Open the source, identify what is missing and record what you changed.

An AI draft can overclaim confidently, in fluent English, with no warning that it has done so. This is the check that keeps the doctor in the loop.

First, what does the source actually say?
FICTIONAL STUDY BRIEF
48 residents attended a journal-club workshop. Their average appraisal quiz score rose from 6/10 before the workshop to 8/10 immediately afterwards.
No comparison group. No later follow-up. Patient outcomes were not measured.
Now imagine handing this to an AI and asking for a summary for tomorrow’s journal club. Your job is what comes next: checking what it hands back.
This example is prewritten. No live AI request or real study is involved.
