"75% of scientific researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country" - must-watch if you haven't fully grasped yet the attack of Trump on US science.. It's somehow more impactful to see actual testimonies instead of facts and numbers:

The whole #Trump thing is sad but the long-term damage of what he is doing against research and science, not just in the US but worldwide, is horrible. Just like the damage on the planet, it is not too late to resist of and fix it though! Universities should stick together, people should come out in support of scientists, PIs should come out of their silence - as in this video - to alert the public on the ongoing destruction.

                        Omg procrastination has paid off *again*: A presentation I haven't prepared for a workshop today was first significantly shortened (notification: yesterday), and this morning, the whole event has been canceled. I'll never change with this kind of positive reinforcement 馃槄 #academicChatter
Does anyone have experiences to share about creating Zenodo communities for their institution or research groups? I'm thinking of proposing to create one for mine, but I'd like to know more about any benefits if any.
How did the term "collude" shift from "playing with" (co-l奴d臅re) to "conspire with"? That's got to be a fascinating story.
I told my undergrads yesterday about the faculty salary freeze at my university. They were totally shocked, which is fair considering how much they pay for tuition.
Only now after 20 years as an educator am I realizing that teaching the political economies of our own institutions is a vital lesson.

Good morning from Elsevier. When I open my inbox to be greeted by this, I know the time has come to leave academia. It is rotten to the core, and totally lost sight of its *telos*. Read the article if you like. It is a lost delusion. States "AI is a tool" multiple times. It's not. Its a pattern matching text generator. (Jon Dron wrote a great piece on this recently.)

Conundrum: Does one clap after a recorded welcome address from the uni president?! #academicChatter
Needing to do my homework versus outlining a new blog series about how thrift stores are getting gentrified and it鈥檚 hurting everybody.
Is there a database of wrong answers of ChatGPT that could be used to give my students the experience that AI sometimes makes stuff up?
Bonus point for wrong facts related to environment/natural sciences/biology.
When they get a wrong answer, the resulting discussion could be a very productive opportunity to learn critical thinking in modern times.
The situation is dire and we really need to counter the #AIHype before it is too late. My colleagues are split into a small group of AI-brainwormed (unfortunately we are almost forced to attend seminars with titles like "How AI can improve your teaching") and many totally desperate professors that do not know how to deal with the situation.
