“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

the crisis in which the University of Chicago is now engulfed -- one entirely of its own making, and which has led to the (hopefully temporary) suspension of admissions into numerous PhD programs in the humanities -- represents I think a seismic event in the history of American higher education 1/

Thinking about all the universities (incl. mine) with higher ed admins who bought the hype to selfishly boost their careers, now leaving the rest of us to foot the bill amidst slashed budgets.

NEW: The National is launching a new series highlighting positive stories of refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland. The increasingly hostile political commentary and media coverage is appalling. We have a duty to correct misinformation and stand up for those without a voice

I think there's a lot of good stuff in these principles, and I'm glad AHA has put out a clear statement on how AI makes historical thinking only even more important. A couple of weaknesses: (1) Ethical considerations. (2) Student use of AI as obstacle to learning necessary skills. 1/11

Great initiative by Wiley! The publisher has started marking retracted papers in reference lists. When you click on the retraction notice, you can also see the date and reason for the retraction. All publishers should adopt this practice. But also screen references during submission.

An open letter has been launched today (27/7/25) for members of the UK academic community (academics and other university staff) to sign, to press the UK Home Office to facilitate safe passage out of Gaza for 40+ students with offers for UK universities. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Friends who've published with Hopkins, check out the below if you weren't already aware:

This is disgraceful. Students in Gaza accepted to many universities (not just Cambridge or Oxford!) being blocked by the UK Home Office's unreasonable and inflexible demands. www.thetimes.com/world/middle...

As an immigrant to this country, it is *already the case* that you cannot access public funds (incl. disability benefits) at any point up to gaining indefinite leave to remain. For me, that was more than ten years of student & spouse visas, healthcare surcharges, a Life in the UK test, etc

Tomorrow, at 6.30pm, we welcome Professor Peter Gatrell to give the 2025 RHS Prothero Lecture. Peter will speak on 'Refugee World(s): a Twentieth-Century Retrospective' bit.ly/4l7ShgF The lecture takes place in person at Mary Ward House, London, and online. All are welcome. #Skystorians

It is not hysterical to be very very worried about this. Denaturalization is a tool of totalitarianism & ethnic cleansing. The track record of denaturalization laws & commissions: - Soviet Union 1924/1925 - Italy, 1926/1938 - Germany 1934/1938 - Czechoslovakia 1938/1939 - France 1940

If you're getting notifications from Academia(.)edu about AI versions of your papers now being podcasts, that's because the (predatory) platform has opted you into AI-enhanced outputs, which you can turn off in your Account Settings here.

'the results also challenge the narrative that generalist or academic degrees are inherently low value. As you can see, most subject areas—including history, languages, and the creative arts, often targeted in these debates—show strong subjective outcomes across the three dimensions'. 3/3

I cannot emphasize enough how needlessly cruel the UK immigration system is to ordinary people who want a family life together and aren't well-off already, and anyone wanting to make it worse should be shunned.
