It was amazing to hear from scholars I’ve long admired, all of whom engaged deeply with the project’s themes and with each other’s presentations 💙

Extremely grateful for the many insightful contributions and for the personal exchanges that made these days so valuable

A minority of researchers - under 30% - have used AI to edit or write their papers, according to a Nature survey published today.

Those that have used AI, more often than not didn't disclose it.

Ending the week with a treat, @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social in Milano, giving a talk at Bocconi University! And look, from the room you could see Torre Velasca (the best building in Milan) and the Duomo (if you squint).
