Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

I am moving towards ideas I have been cherishing: how to prepare OURSELVES and OUR STUDENTS to work OUTSIDE academia.
The HaPoC session at APA Central Fri 28.02 (see my previous post) is about transition from academia to business.

I am wondering about the differences between the concept of computing, the concept of computation, the concept of computability and also about incomputable, uncomputable and non-computable. Please share your insights! In any language (English is just an example here)

I never know: if I have not published the paper yet, can I talk about its content? I do at seminars or conferences when I present the draft. I do not publish on arXiv, but so many do... I would like to write here: I have just submitted the paper on... but I am hesitant… Hm. Well, I just submitted :)

I have started lecturing on the use of critical thinking and prompting. Does anyone have a similar assignment and would be willing to share their experiences?

Unsure what I think about that… I suppose science can progress faster while assisted with AI. But admittedly, the opening for potential intellectual abuse is worrying.
ASU moves towards using ChatGPT (not instructors) to teach its students composition & "help" them write ...🙄
