ATGthePodcast 303 - A Conversation with Gregory Laynor, PhD, Director, NYU Meta-Research Collaborative and Systemic Review Librarian, NYU Health Science Library

from Against the Grain - The Podcast

Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Gregory Laynor, PhD, Director, Meta-Research Collaborative and Systemic Review Librarian, NYU Health Science Library. In this conversation, Gregory discusses founding the Meta Research Collaborative, which aims to improve transparency, impact and research practices across disciplines. He also discusses his work in meta-research, or research on research, and says he is cautious in using Generative AI in research due to concerns over bias, rigor and reproducibility amid an AI mediated research landscape, and he believes that the library's future is shifting and now lies more in helping people interpret, evaluate, and synthesize information, and helping provide AI literacy, than in being repositories.
