I don't see this said enough: the widespread use of generative AI is not only making our jobs as educators harder logistically, but also emotionally. It is genuinely sad to be suspicious of students when you have spent so much time building a pedagogy based on trust and not being a cop. It sucks.

This might be the best idea for a special issue ever. Did you attempt an ecological intervention that failed or went catastrophically wrong? Let's hear about it and learn from it. 🌏🧪🌲🌳🌐

Hey ⚒️ geo folks: Can anyone recommend a geobiologist who might be interested in discussing foundational/methodological issues in co-evolution of life & environment, from #paleobio to #geobio with historians & philosophers of science at MBL this summer?

I love the way ladybirds take off. I always say "weeee" when I see it. 😂

Helder verhaal.

Newsletter up. Rant incoming. Pop sci mostly reaches educated, left-leaning, wealthy readers — including, of course, scientists and science writers. I increasingly believe the gap between the real general audience and what's called "general audience" in scicomm is huge and worth talking about: 🧪

Nu presenterade regeringen en kombinerad angiverilag och lag för ett svenskt ICE. Polisen ska göra många fler utlänningskontroller där grundad anledning inte längre krävs. Husrannsakan och genomsökande av mobiltelefoner ska få göras vid kontroll. Andra myndigheter ska ange papperslösa till polisen.

Door het FvD, dus fascisme, als normale partij te beschouwen, helpen journalisten hun eigen vak naar de kloten. Onder het fascisme is er namelijk geen journalistiek. Als het FvD wint, nodig je niet de fascist uit, maar een expert die uitlegt hoe je fascisme stopt en waarom dat van levensbelang is.

Jag klagar ibland på min arbetsplats och dess beslut. Men jag försöker ha takt och ton och vara måttfull och balanserad... Därför delar jag ett bra debattinlägg från kollegor på LST Skåne. För även om kanske inte så många på ATL tycker det så behöver småskalig vattenkraft moderna miljövillkor.

Situationen i USA, med vetenskapsförakt o uttalad rasism från administrationen uppstod inte över en natt. Kanske dags att säga ifrån om vi ska vandra samma väg, för samma krafter jobbar hårt för att även Europa ska dithän www.dn.se/debatt/dissa...

Min politiccrush på Pedro Sánchez bara intensifieras. Det finns ett fåtal politiker världen över som ger mig hopp just nu. Sanchez är definitivt en av dem. Det vore ytterst klädsamt att se stöd för Spanien från flera europeiska regeringar. Men det kan vi nog bara drömma om. Anyways... #VotePedro!

Ett bra Piet Hein-citat: "If we are not changing direction, we are likely to end up where we are heading" Med tanke på hur vi/de flyger och far, konsumerar och lever i vår del av världen, så är det svårt att undvika att vara dystopisk.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest. In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

We know a lot of people are choosing to boycott AI overall, and we support that. AI is terrible on the environment! At the same time, we understand many people still use AI tools. If you’re going use AI please delete the ChatGPT app, and switch to Claude by Anthropic instead.

For women, one of the very difficult things about the Epstein emails is having all our worst professional suspicions confirmed. You wonder in darker moments if men say this kind of awful stuff about us (individually, and as a class) to each other, and here it is all confirmed in writing.
