There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read. prospect.org/2025/12/11/s...

The CDC website now disseminates disinformation about vaccines, claiming erroneously that infant vaccines might cause autism, when we know conclusively that they do not. It is difficult to overstate just how dangerous this is. www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

Or anything, really. Passing your grading off to AI is simply deciding that your students’ work isn’t worth engaging with. And if that’s how you feel, why on Earth are you in a classroom?

For the real healers...

People are not worried enough about this and it will be devastating

It's been sad to see this happen to my undergrad institution. The dream of UChicago is a worthy dream, even if it was never quite realized, further now than ever.

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."

More than 37 million adults in the U.S. are estimated to have CKD, yet about 90% don’t know they have it. Without early detection, people lose valuable time to slow or stop the disease’s progression. NKF is committed to changing this.

You owe it to yourself to develop your own interpretation of a text, & there's no shortcut to doing that but sitting & going through all of its words & absorbing them.

"Remember, these standards exist to help us decide whether you have a job in academia forever or will never work in academia again. If you have questions about these standards, please ask three different people and get three contradictory answers."

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

Inside us there are two wolves

Chronic kidney disease often goes undiagnosed, but early detection can prevent severe outcomes. A nursing professor explains what you need to know to keep your kidneys healthy: buff.ly/JNxzFSR @eriverarn.bsky.social, University of Illinois Chicago

A new article I wrote in collaboration with @us.theconversation.com on the importance of being diagnosed and treated for early-stage kidney disease - how we're falling behind in our clinical goals, and how patients can advocate for themselves: theconversation.com/chronic-kidn...

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

This thread was so generously shared and is beautifully, intelligently stated. It's exactly what I needed to hear to knock me out of my existential despair spiral.

I have taken the resources that were in the budget and which you were probably saving for higher education Forgive me they were needed to feed the AI bubble and to dismantle the humanities

Hear me out... when I was pregnant and feeling horrible and hated all food I think I would have consented to this

"For both patients and providers, prior authorization can feel like an unfair game they are designed to lose." Honored to work w/ Dr @nathangray.bsky.social on a graphic op-ed out now @usatoday.com on how #PriorAuth can leave some patients literally dying in pain. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Sometimes developing discipline is simply deciding Future You is someone worth taking care of.

Individual resilience is not something we should be working towards. Rather, the goal should be a healthy society where resilience is not a necessity. #trauma #mentalhealth

I'm adding this to my introductory class slides!

I try to be as aggressive as possible about offering students extensions on their assignments. And it's clear so many of them have had horrible experiences in their past with disrespect from instructors.

Excited to be included!

Stupidest mistake would be running gels/blots backward. Grossest mistake was definitely spilling an entire bottle of trimethylamine 🐟🐟🐟
