Anyone from Ontario?

Hi! I'm moving to Hamilton, Ontario this summer from the States. I'm on a triptan, injectable (Ajovy), and Botox injections. The treatment regimen is working, so I'd really like to stay on it. I'm wondering if there are any folks from Ontario who might be able to help me figure out how to navigate the system. I'll have OHIP and Green Shield through my employer. Please explain it to my like I'm five. :)

Thank you!

Girls Travel Soccer

Hi! My family and I are moving to Hamilton in July from one of the southern states (hooray!!).

My 13-year-old daughter plays club soccer down here and would really like to continue when we move.

I'm looking for club/training recommendations. Anything to keep her connected to the sport that she loves.

I see that tryouts are in the fall for a summer competitive season. Is that right? Down here we have May tryouts for an August-May competitive season.

Are there winter teams or training opportunities? She would hate the idea of not playing for a year.

Thank you for your help!

Peer Reviewing a Probably AI-Generated Manuscript

JFC I think the article I'm peer reviewing an AI-generated article (social sciences).

The topic is super buzz-worthy and would probably get A LOT of citations/media attention (algorithmic decision-making in a super high-stakes public institution).

The literature review has early-PhD student vibes. It's a laundary list of citations without any synthesis, interpretation, or voice ("X found Y. Z argues A. B shows C"). There are also some weird phrases at the beginning of paragraphs that seem like leftover ChatGPT headings.

But then the analysis is suddenly sophisticated as fuck (quasi-experimental, machine learning, multilevel regressions). But there are literally no standard multivariate results tables... No full regression tables... No standard errors/confidence intervals, etc. Just a bunch of effect sizes and p-values reported in the write-up of the results. "Trust me bro" vibes.

The biggest red flag is that one of the figures is complete gibberish. The x-axis is labeled in a impossible sequence of years (e.g., 2010, 2012, 2013, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016). It is full of labels that are misspelled, fuzzy, and have distorted letters (Cyrillic, Latin?).

What the fuck?
