Yes! And this is in part why I've long wanted to teach a class on small media — because compression presents interesting technical, epistemological + ontological challenges; because small stuff creates aesthetic possibilities + allows for 😈 distribution... (👇 from a course pitch deck :)

I wrote a quick tutorial for a student on how to use to R to get Whisper to automatically transcribe your audio. I figured others might find it useful too. #linguistics joeystanley.com/blog/whisper/

I've started working on a (very incomplete!) starter pack for social interaction researchers! If you're working in this space, please asked to be added (or suggest others)! Meant to be inclusive of many disciplines, methods, interaction types, and types of interacting agents: go.bsky.app/44VAEhU

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Someone put up a chip taste-test experiment in the Stanford linguistics kitchen… and we’ve all collectively decided to criticize the methodology and improve it 😂

Bill Labov has passed away after a long and extraordinary life. The founder of variationist sociolinguistics and the academic adviser and grand-adviser to so many in our field. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues, and students today.

Bill Labov died this morning. I'm not coherent enough to talk about how important and influential and brilliant he was. I am very sad.
I was so lucky to know him, and I am grateful every day that he (and Gillian, and Walt, etc) built an academic field where kindness is expected.
