OK, every year I try to explain to my students how LLMs work, and every year I have to do a big trawl for good resources and activities. Here's this year's haul of *introductory* materials. (In-class activities + visualizations, not so much readings.)

As a sex/gender nerd and a bird nerd I am probably more excited about this than I should be 😅
I need to pay more attention to White-throated Sparrows!

true but read my work. I am not confused. I see and accept complexity. And not all those wildlife experts would agree. See: www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-ba...

Being a birder at the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social #SuperBowl parade is noticing the wild bald eagle flying way high over the art museum/parade route half an hour before the parade kicks off 🦅

Gender is such an immutable, natural binary that we have to enforce it with the full power of the state.
NEW: The Department of Education told employees late Friday that they must review and terminate all programs, contracts and policies that affirm the existence of transgender people.

The Department of Education Told Employees to End Support for Transgender Students
The directive, which continues the Trump administration’s efforts to curb transgender rights, could end school-based mental health services and support for homeless students.

This is what I wore to axe throwing this week: my watercolor Eagles crucial catch hat, kelly green Saquon Barkley jersey, and new Saquon reverse hurdle sticker on my axe. And I threw better than I’ve thrown in quite a while. GO BIRDS 🦅🦅

This is awful. What a horrible, preventable tragedy and a loss for UC Berkeley and our field. Privileged to have listened to him speak on Palestine just a few months ago. Thinking of Dr. Burawoy’s family, friends, colleagues, and students.

Not just the National Institutes of Health, now the National Science Foundation is put on pause.
Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔
