I'm trying to think about these photos of my roses as a reminder for persistence in my research. Even when things look like they are dormant and not fitting, there’s a season coming when it will all come together.

I think this is in some ways a nice metaphor for research in academia. Sometimes it can feel like there is no progress with paper rejections, dead-ends, problems in research infrastructure. But even when it feels like nothing is happening, things are happening in the background.

One day seemingly all at once, buds appear. The roses burst open all in one go and the garden is alive with different fragrances.

All winter, the garden looks bare. The branches seem brittle, the ground lifeless. It gets to February and it seems like a lot of work to sort everything out, with little apparent benefit. You do it, and the garden still looks lifeless and dull. But beneath the surface, progress is happening.

Every spring, my roses remind me about something important in academia that is easy to forget: the power of perseverance, patience, and the confidence that hard work will pay off in the end .

🚨New Preprint Alert! 🚨
How do people perceive those who outsource tasks to AI – especially in deeply human domains like relationships?
In a new preprint led by my PostDoc Scott Claessens and PhD student Pierce Veitch, we explore this.

We end by placing these discussions in a broader context, suggesting there are no easy answers but we need to fundamentally grapple with this broader political and social context. Critically: what future for humans do we want?

Looking forward to presenting today at 4pm in the Oxford Uehiro Institute talking about work with my PostDoc Scott Claessens and my PhD student Pierce Veitch on how we view others who outsource different tasks to AI and the role that effort plays in shaping perceptions of others.

I've just finished the most amazing hiking trip across Gran Canaria. I have sore legs but will cherish these beautiful views and memories and new friends for a long time to come. What a beautiful island.

I've been on a weightloss journey (part intentional, part unintentional), and this quote in this article really summarises my feelings. It's really discomforting to realise how much your looks shape all kinds of interactions, even non-romantic.

Maggie is very happy with the delivery of @kurtjgray.bsky.social's new book and said she's really excited to learn about why we fight about morality and politics (and ideally why people that prefer cats are evil).
