Universities are starting to say the quiet part out loud. 🤫

A stable system is not a healthy one. @nntaleb tells a full house @MSFEA_AUB that antifragility stems from changing with one’s environment and befriending disorder and uncertainty. Let’s go!

My heart is shattered by this senseless violence that led us to lose a brilliant young man like no other. He did everything right. He was hardworking, helpful, kind, curious, inquisitive, funny...Karim, you are loved. You are missed.@yehya_nadine, we will honor his memory forever
I encourage everyone to donate to this fund in honor of @ucdavis undergrad Karim Majdi Abou Najm who was killed last week in #DavisCA

This love of mine just got promoted to full professor @ut_caee. So proud of you @ProfElMohtar. Congratulations on finally living up to your twitter name 😅 💘
GPTZero seems to be a helpful tool to detect AI-generated content. I will be experimenting with this platform in my writing-intensive courses this semester.
Edward Tian @edward_the6 developed GPTZero (etedward-gptzero-main-zqgfwb…) to help detect AI-generated content.
Was just giving it a try, and it seems to work on the example I tried.
PS: Kudos for providing perplexity scores, which a human has to interpret, rather than binary labels
My favorite comment from last semester’s evaluations ⭐️ (that just came out today😶). I had no idea undergrads could tell I’m just “here to teach.” As an NTT faculty who sometimes feels out of place, it’s cool to know students appreciate it🥹. Excited to get back at it next week!
ALT Highlighted comment: it was pretty clear that the prof was here to teach, and not just doing it on the side while doing research or what have you. A genuine care of teaching.

What a powerful #dataviz!
The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...

Florida Governor shaming high school students into taking off their masks at a public event. I know he said: "If you want to wear it, fine..." But his tonality and gestures clearly indicated to those kids that he is NOT fine with it, and they took them off..
NEW: @GovRonDeSantis annoyed with USF students—
"You do not have to wear those masks. Please take them off. Honestly, it's not doing anything. We've gotta stop with this Covid theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous."

An important🧵on Europe’s longstanding racism against Ukraine. The surprise expressed by ignorant journalists on how it is not “uncivilized” speaks to both: their racist views on Ukraine as an outsider to Europe & their dehumanization of people experiencing wars in other regions

Such an exhausting narrative. As women, we understand work-family balance as more of a conflict than a balance. This is a structural issue, not an individual one. Women should have full agency over whether or not to have kids. No question this should be their choice either way.
Women almost everywhere in the U.S. are delaying having children, resulting in profound changes to American motherhood.
The birthrate is falling fastest in places with the greatest job growth as women prioritize education and careers.

Nonreplicable publications are cited more than replicable ones."Why are nonreplicable papers accepted...in the first place? A possible answer is that... when the results are more 'interesting,' [reviewers] apply lower standards regarding reproducibility." advances.sciencemag.org/cont…
My parents attending my baby sister’s graduation from @AUB_Lebanon. Between me and my 3 sisters, this is their SIXTH graduation as AUB parents. All the feels 😭
Fascinating and eye-opening thread on the complexities entailed in inclusive science communication.

Society to women of color: Nah, not you.
