This will end the Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) program (schools with >25% Latino undergrads). For reference, current flagships that are HSIs include Arizona and Arizona State, 5 UCs (Irvine, Riverside, Merced, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz), Rutgers, U New Mexico & NM State, UT Austin & UT El Paso

Not me thinking this was about Australian break dancing.
The AI tool Raygun (named as an homage to “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”) is just one of several tools that a team led by Duke's Rohit Singh, PhD, has built to help scientists work both faster and smarter.

I’ve seen several talks by arts + humanities researchers whose work I’ve long appreciated, now scaling up their inquiries through AI — primarily, it seems, to better undertake “how AI sees / reads / interprets” the work. It so often feels sad to me — obligatory, compensatory. A pander to funders.

Today I met with a library director from a liberal arts college. She's working with anthro faculty + students to understand how people use the library; with design faculty + students to design-build new furnishings that facilitate new uses; etc. This is how it should be: campus as test kitchen.
