Very happy to update the {traktok} #rstats readme. After 1.5 years, you can finally search TikTok again without access to the Research API. It's slow and a bit clunky, but it works! Thanks, @michaelgoodier.bsky.social for the crucial hint!

Excellent job inviting these technologies into our campuses to work closely with vulnerable young people, university administrators and edtech people.

BRAVO.

Thanks Richard!! (I say I want our research covered but wait for my coauthor to post when it happens… let’s not examine those preferences too closely! 😂)

Social media can push us to the dark side, with negative content. A new study finds watching inspiring videos for just 3 minutes a day is on par with meditation for boosting mood and reducing stress. n.pr/4quxZB8

Got 3 minutes? This habit may help boost hope and reduce stress

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

Excited to present our new work reading minds!

Ok, not *that* kind of mind reading, but we have created a deep learning method capable of using single neuron recordings from people watching episodes of TV that can predict when they recall specific memories from the episode. 1/6

📣 New preprint from the SCIMaP team!

Across three studies, we show that communicating the economic impact of NIH funding cuts—especially with interactive quizzes and maps—decreases approval and motivates action to oppose the cuts, across the political spectrum. 🧵 1/8

Without the flexible scheduling of community college I wouldn’t have been able to complete the first step of my academic career. Great @nytimes.com article about how recent ed challenges affect CC and hurt communities and people who depend on them.

A community college trained my dad as a heavy equipment mechanic. A community college helped me, a working-class kid with no clue, transfer to a university. Community colleges launched friends into trades and college degrees; pathways to opportunity are now at risk www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/m...

A while ago, we started a #FixItFriday tradition. We keep a running list - large & small, digital & analog, anything broken or annoying - and work on it together.

Today's 30-second fix: to remove AI "preview" from search results, here's the setting for Chrome users: www.reddit.com/r/techsuppor...

Screenshot from Reddit. User is zensnapple, posting 6 months ago.
Thread says
"How to turn off Google AI Overview in Chrome SOLVED
Open Chrome and put chrome://settings/searchEngines in the search box.
A tab will open which brings you to Search Engine > Manage Search Engines and Site Search.
Click on the Add button by the Site Search update. A box will open. Fill in the form with the following:
Name: AI Free Web
Shortcut: @web
URL: {google:baseURL}search?q=%s&udm=14
You’ll now see AI Free Web in the list of search engines.
Click on the three stacked dots on the right side of AI Free Web on the list. Select Make Default.
From now on, google functions pretty much like it did back when it was good. Good luck out there."

If you won't believe me, here's Paul

Screenshot from blog post that reads: Nor, especially, can they be addressed by American researchers moving abroad. When someone suggests that researchers just move abroad, I smile wanly, because I know that whoever is suggesting it has no idea of the scale of U.S. higher education relative to other markets nor of the difficulties other countries are facing. (What, just move to the many financially secure institutions of the United Kingdom? If you don’t keep up with UK higher ed news, then you may not recognize that’s a darkly bitter joke.) Some folks will find moving abroad attractive but it is simply not possible for the 1.4 million U.S. post-secondary instructors to just move to Canada.
