How did we predict the weather in the 18th and early 19th century? 🌦️ During my current research as a BAEF fellow at Yale, I’m exploring the use of plants as weather predictors. If you’d like to follow along with my work, hi! Let me introduce myself. 👋 1/6

Indeed, let's remember all the value we offer as humanity scholars and artists. We should contribute to interdisciplinary debates. Not just about ethics, but about the importance of learning, teaching & creating, (critical) thinking & writing, AI & democracy, and the essence of what makes us human.
Hard agree, and I think this is true of AI art/music/literature too. We don't need more artistic 'products' in the world. We do need more people to have more opportunities to engage in the process of artistic creation. If anything, AI reduces those opportunities.
This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

On a Belgian summer day, between rain and sunshine, I became a doctor in history and a doctor in philosophy. Doing this PhD has been an immense privilege, a journey of discovery as well as self-discovery. I'm beyond grateful for all the support I have received these last 4 years

Should we develop open science metrics to rank researchers, and if yes, how? As I've noticed from discussing this at a @jtrialerror meeting, there's much to think about and debate. Register here to join our debate on June 15th moderated by @oliviodare

During this partial lockdown I've visited some BE museums. N°1 The Ghent University Museum. I loved how it wasn't organised by discipline but by themes such as doubt, chaos and measuring. It highlighted the messy project of knowledge production from all of UGent's faculties [1/2]
