Impressive report from CRUK with important ramifications for EU-UK #reset

With the UK-EU summit in May, our new report and blog reveal the impact of Brexit and how the UK-EU reset can enhance cancer research collaboration. “Beating cancer is a team effort. Whether as a family, as a community or as a continent.” (Ursula von der Leyen, 2024) bit.ly/42X88YE 1/9

The @NILQ established a series in which academics reflect on academic writing. Delighted to be the sixth such reflection published, joining those of @Mariana Valverde and @Barbara Prainsack (and some others). Thank you to everyone who has co-written with me, or is currently co-writing with me!

Anyone know of good reflections/examples of using generative AI for writing law essays? I'm looking for something to use with year 3 law ugrads. Like this dompates.medium.com/ai-i-wish-i-... reflecting on writing song lyrics, but instead for writing a law essay. #law #generativeAI #legaleducation
