The #Philosophy dept. at @MontclairState will consolidate into a new "School of Human Narrative and Creative Expression" with #English and #Spanish?
And #Psychology will consolidate too?
No more departments (or dept. chairs)? 🤔
If a statistical test always gets produces the same result and if its results are often (usually?) described fallaciously, should the test be abandoned?
If so, we may need to abandon p-curve analysis:
#AI may exacerbate bad academic habits:
Science summaries from large language models ( #LLMs) were nearly five times more likely than human-authored summaries to contain broad generalizations (95% CI [3.06, 7.70], p < 0.001).
And newer language models over-generalized more; not less!

😳 The #AI survey taker "rendered [attention quality] checks [ACQs] effectively obsolete. Across 6,000 total trials..., [it] committed only 10 errors, achieving an overall pass rate of 99.8% and scoring perfectly on 18 of the 20 ACQ types."

I've finished the first draft of my paper about William Wimsatt and his multi-perspectival realism.
I think every practicing scientist today should know about his philosophy. It will make you a better researcher, I guarantee. And it will help you feel more comfortable exploring the structure of a messy and imperfect world without losing track of your limitations.
