I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

It is with a heavy heart that I share news of the passing of our dear colleague and cherished friend, Prof. Monica Popescu, on Saturday evening, the 24th of February of brain cancer. Monica's work on on Cold War literary studies was truly field-shifting. Her absence impoverishes our world. 💔

I don’t know if this goes without saying, so: your doctoral degree doesn’t have to be in information science to apply for this. We’ve appointed postdocs with backgrounds that range from children’s literature to computational social science to straight-up CS.

The School of Information Sciences at Urbana-Champaign is seeking postdoctoral researchers for AY 2024-25, renewable for a second year. Applications are due March 15; it can be a good idea to reach out to potential faculty mentors in advance. Please repost and tell friends!

Montreal-based Folks: Honored to be in conversation with dear colleague and friend, Amanda Holmes, following her book presentation of "Latin American Literature in Transition," a co-edited volume which forms part of a series with Cambridge UP. Join us on the 7th of February at 3pm at McGill!

AI image synthesis is inherently wasteful. As we all know but often ignore, anything called AI today consumes enormous energy resources and computing power. Also, it relies on the mass exploitation of human labor on a planetary scale. But there’s more to it … 1/6
