Loved being involved as a judge at the UoB postgrad research festival today. Such a treat to learn about PGR research from right across campus.

Yo! Academics,
I have a question,
Are you training your students how to use AI?
I teach international development, and I teach my students how to craft prompts, brainstorm, explore, and refine queries.
Curious to learn how others engage with this tech revolution! 🙂

This was such a fun project to work on! Thanks for highlighting it for us!
Research by @danaeac.bsky.social et al suggests that recommendations do influence people’s behaviour, but that recommendations reflecting social norms are not more effective than randomly chosen ones: https://buff.ly/4j88W32

Had the best time back in my academic home, Newcastle uni! Fantastic to catch up with old friends and mentors and learn about exciting new experimental econ research going on! Also can confirm the pubs are still excellent!
