US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

An excellent PhD opportunity for someone to work on family separation during WW1 or WW2. I've done some research on Italian emigrant families separated when the father was serving in the Italian Army and it's a really fascinating area of study. royalhistsoc.org/calendar/phd...

Once again I must ask, how much use of military force makes for no ceasefire, rather than a “strained” or “tested” ceasefire?

“‘The uncritical adoption of AI can lead to students not developing essential academic skills such as critical thinking and writing. If students are taught to learn through automation, without learning about how & why things work, they won’t be able to solve problems when something actually breaks’”

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

Hallituksen kaavailemat leikkaukset ja lakimuutokset maahanmuuttajien kotoutumispalveluihin uhkaavat siirtää vastuun kotoutumisesta kokonaan yksilön harteille, vaikka kotoutuminen rakentuu monien toimijoiden yhteistyössä, kirjoittavat Eveliina Junikka ja Liselott Sundbäck. #tiedetaivas #politiikasta

Todellinen tutkimusrahoituksen kriisi: Miten pieni osa tutkimuksista voidaan rahoittaa ja silti todeta, että nykyinen systeemi on toimiva? EU:n Marie Curie postdoc-rahoitusta hakee 65% enemmän kuin viime vuonna, jolloin myöntöprosentti oli 17%. Eli arviolta 10% tullaan rahoittamaan. #tiedetaivas
