Sociologists/historians of science: one thing that would be cool is, like, a big book of failure (besides my autobiography wahay!!!!) - like, detailed accounts of research programmes that failed, approaches that didn't work out. Does this exist?

I ask my new + old followers to circulate this open access roundtable onAmerican science. Please repost! We in the USA are losing our lead in scientific research due to totalitarian tendencies in the current administration. This loss will affect all of us.

Let's leave aside things like reading for pleasure. If all I want is a pure just-the-facts-ma'am summary of, say, the Jacobite Revolution, I can go to Wikipedia and get an executive summary with additional information as needed and a list of further resources and citations. I don't need AI for that.

AI isn't going to put things in both the historical context of the time. If anything, it's going to have the same modern biases, stereotypes and presuppositions that we view history through - "nasty, brutish and short", "sexually repressed", "a naive, superstitious lot" etc.

How did I get my ERC Consolidator Grant? Hard work, luck, and *A LOT* of prep.

Encouraged by my colleagues, who I drafted to help me prep and who watched me work on the application and interview all those months, I've written a paper about my preparations: pure.au.dk/ws/portalfil...
