WTF is this? I did not write or submit this paper. Are journals now run entirely by AIs who hallucinate entire publications? Knowledge Of Pregnant Women About The Benefits Of Pregnancy Books In Ottawa | International Journal of Health Engineering and Technology share.google/ArcgxhUDfSY9...

Have I mentioned my book!? It tries to inspire action by arguing we already sort-of know what needs to be done about the world's biggest problems – and have a pretty good idea of what a solution looks like. Also, economics is not what you think! www.amazon.com/How-Economic...

We're all fundamental. Here's my weird take on #panpsychism. Open-access article! 🙂 #philsky

" 60 per cent of UK university libraries are considering dropping their big deals with the five major academic publisher" Many call for diamond open access. A new organisation with many partners, @ojcollective.bsky.social , is launching in January. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

The UK’s high attainment and completion rates are tempered by rising costs and inequalities, according to the latest Education at a Glance report from the OECD. @tashmosheim.bsky.social reports #academicsky #edusky

US Reading decline is dramatic over the last 20 years, but no decline among teens...because they never read much in the first place, a point I've been harping on for years, as people often focus on social media & teens re: ⬇️ in reading.

Petition by UC Faculty Association for the UCs stand up to Trump govt demands. UCs are a gem, and contribute so much to CA and USA.

WHOLE BOOKS! I pop into this wonderful podcast episode from @douglemov.bsky.social via @knowledgematrs.bsky.social on the value of reading whole books knowledgematterscampaign.org/post/ep-4-li...

AI in the Writing Process: A Problem of Purpose When we value the product of writing more than the process, we’re bound to see students using GenAI to skip to the end. So, what are we going to do about it? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation#AIEdu#AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #Writing #AIWriting

At risk of being a broken-ass record about this: If you don't like writing -- and these "mechanics" are an invaluable AND ENJOYABLE piece of the process for those of us who do -- then maybe just like don't be a writer?

Wow, after reading this, I’m very interested in Mary Midgley! Well worth the read! #philosophy #philsky #academicsky #ethics

This is an important read: ‘When Science Is Local, Silence Is Global’ sciencewatchdog.id/2025/05/29/w... “These imbalances are not merely symbolic—they determine what counts as global knowledge, which research gets visibility, and whose crises are deemed worthy of global scientific mobilization.”

Delighted that our paper "Who are learning designers in post-pandemic Australasian universities?" is published in HERD. Great to collaborate with Lye Ee (Rebecca) Ng & @mmhinze.bsky.social on this article. Thanks to LDs who participated in this research. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Enjoyed writing this piece for national media in Ireland on EdTech in schools. In a nutshell: The harms of datafication and platformisation of schools are not abstract because sooner or later your school is going to be hacked and your child's data put up for sale on the dark web...

Fascinating #LongRead on the future of human labour in a world of increasingly productive #AI. One early nugget that kinda shocked me is that we have apparently spent most than 10x the total cost of the Manhattan Project on #GenerativeAI (or possibly AI more broadly).

Be careful with who you share information with and your plans. Some people will actively try to harm you and your career behind your back. I wish philosophy had a venue to warn others of some really bad people. #philsky #philtech

The mega-consultancies are all pushing AI in education like you would totally believe. A short thread if you can cope...

Here are some recent books on effective learning written for students. Though most are written by psychologists, all are appropriate for students majoring in any topics. I can't pick one, b/c each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I hope you (& other people) find this list useful. #edusky

An insightful and useful reflection on a 50-year journey to promote relevant, hands-on, interactive #science #education. "We thought that one-in-five students having a basic grip on #STEM was alarmingly low... Those percentages have slid inexorably... #Physics... remains a mystery to all but a few."

Excellent summary of the year in generative AI and its current state. Essential reading for those who think they know all about Large Language Models, and for those who don't. simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/...

Anybody know of any #metascience study that went through dozens of papers and looked at whether they did any outlier exclusions and how they justified (usually no justification, of course) the exclusion criterion and whether they preregistered it?

This creative (academic?) eBook truly makes science (& more) accessible & interesting to everyone: "two bright and willful people agreeing to try to understand each other across the classical divides of art and science, faith and reason, childhood and adulthood- and man and woman". Thanks John/Bruce

A Science Podcast aimed at the wider community. Great initiative @criticallyspeaking.bsky.social - "We discuss, in everyday language that we all can understand, fundamental issues that impact our health, our society, and our planet".

The book "Learning Design Voices" offers a rich array of views, experiences and scholarly reflections from a wide diversity of learning designers across the world. A hidden gem. Plus it is freely available open access edtechbooks.org/ldvoices/

If you were able to nominate one person for a volume titled "Greatest Educators of All Time" who would you name? I'd name Maria Montessori, because of (1) the geographic breadth of her influence; (2) the duration of her influence; (3) the fact that she's been influential in both theory and practice.

In his TEDx talk, Steve argues that "education is not the filling of a pail," but "the lighting of a fire." As teachers, we should present ourselves to our students NOT as "distant experts," but as "fellow travelers" who are on the same fun learning journey (but a little bit ahead). Check it out.
