"If we are serious about our cultural identity, our heritage, traditions & language, it is reasonable to expect that the President should speak our national language."

In The Journal, read the latest opinion piece from UL's Professor Laura Cahillane.

I am pleased to see academics pushing back hard against the unquestioning adoption of AI. This quote captures all of my concerns in a nutshell.
Quoted text: Overhyped 'AI' technologies, such as chatbots, large language models, and related products, are just that: products that the technology industry, just like the tobacco and petroleum industries, pump out for profit and in contradiction to the values of ecological sustainability, human dignity, pedagogical safeguarding, data privacy, scientific integrity, and democracy. These 'AI' products are materially and psychologically detrimental to our students' ability to write and think for themselves, existing instead for the benefit of investors and multinational companies. As a marketing strategy to introduce such tools in the classroom, companies falsely claim that students are lazy or lack writing skills. We condemn those claims and reassert students’ agency vis-à-vis corporate control.

Germany has warmed by about 1.7 degrees Celsius since official meteorological measurements began in 1881. In Berlin, we can see and feel the effects: less snow, and longer, hotter, and drier summers 🌡️

Happy Friday everyone! I just posted what I think is an important blog post on my website. It is a critique of meta-meta-analyses: meta-analyses of meta-analyses.

Research funders at all levels must get past this fascination with unicorns and superstars. Invest broadly, and in enabling research infrastructures.

We are committed to enshrining scientific freedom in EU law, creating a 7-year ‘super grant’ to attract top researchers, and expanding support for the most promising scientists.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.
