Yes!!!!! This is such a wonderful moment in history.

Feel like we all need this currently ...

"these arrangements are not 'partnerships' or 'collaborations' but contracts that bring profit and publicity to AI firms, while making universities complicit in the continued empowerment of tech oligarchy and expansion of their 'AI Empire' (Tacheva and Ramasubramanian, 2023; Adams, 2024; Hao, 2025)"

Why tech concentration is bad for us 101. Cheers for the free public upskilling @meredithmeredith.bsky.social

How many classes today were canceled because a whole suite of EdTech services are built atop AWS? You know what platform never crashes?

I don't believe Walter Herzog is on BlueSky but this feels very him ... + @jonasrubenson.bsky.social @cjclemente.bsky.social! #biomechsky

The basic structure of so much commentary, some in the guise of academic study, reduces to: (1) generative AI products are detrimental to the goals of education (2) therefore, the goals of education must change. Without the tacit axiom that AI has authority behind it, that just doesn’t follow.

I'm not sure there's a more perfect aptronym example than this wonderful conservationist and educator. Thank you, and go well Dr Jane Goodall 🙏. Additional bubble wrap now required for David Attenborough and Dolly Parton please.

I don't have dentist anxiety but would fake it to attend this dentist!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

👇 Your daily reminder that science works and scientists can do amazing things.

If you’re on academia dot edu, let me suggest that you strongly consider deleting your account.

it’s wild to see how often politicians talk about “ai and quantum” as though quantum is having or is even poised to have any real impact in the near future. which lobbyists are feeding them these talking points?

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

“Instead of spending millions of dollars competing with one another using advertising campaigns that no longer work, universities could improve their reputations by investing properly in staff and lifting the quality of their courses." Hard agree from me

This is nice work for those that work with time series data. #biomechsky

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

👇 in my experience it's a 50/50 under/over-estimate split. The 6-month proposal period is critical to try and get the settings right ... but sometimes it's gutterguards or stretch targets until the final submission date ...

“A stunning exposé of how universities made, and lost, the Faustian bargain with big tech.” Read the full review of Anne Trumbore’s The Teacher in the Machine, a history of education technology over the past half-century, in Kirkus:

It's funny because we all know it's true

This is a beyond disappointing result for Australian researchers who are already navigating a desolate and demoralising funding environment. 😞 @australianlabor.bsky.social

I adored Roberta Flack as a teenager (I was always old school) but this arrangement of Bridge Over Trouble Water was a sublime favourite. Perhaps it has never felt more poignant than it is today. Thank you for your music Ms Flak. RIP #atruelegend m.youtube.com/watch?v=hf0M...

A.I. chatbots posing as therapists that are programmed to reinforce, rather than to challenge, a user’s thinking, could drive vulnerable people to harm themselves or others, the nation’s largest psychological organization warned federal regulators.

Hard agree @arc-tracker.bsky.social There's been more than enough evidence @edhusicmp.bsky.social @jasonclaremp.bsky.social We need action, not reviews.

More evidence to show that animals are always better than people ...
