As a chem TA, one of the most valuable things I ever did with struggling students in office hours was have them narrate for me how they would solve a problem, and then figure out what it was they weren’t getting. That’s how you get the lightbulb moments.

So a thing about AI is that, not understanding the material itself, it cannot understand what the gap is in someone else’s understanding. Students already have access to materials that will repeat important points over and over. They don’t need more.

Also known as “training your replacement.” 😩

BREAKING -- New York Public Library for the win! After a massive public backlash, NYC's libraries are getting their funding back -- and will be open on Sundays again. Take a bow, folks -- WE did this.

Hey @katharinehayhoe.com, any advice on talking to (well-meaning, left-wing) relations who insist that proponents of "divisive" issues like climate change and women's rights need to make concessions to right-wing dissidents who push denialism and misogyny just so that we "meet halfway"?

“Declines in public trust in science are no accident, it’s the result of deliberate actions by bad actors. Science has become politicized. The media has become politicized. We don’t have shared sources of information anymore.” - @cragcrest.bsky.social 🧪

Speak up for biodiversity! The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon/northern California has a new draft management plan and we need people to submit substantive comments by July 5. More info: www.cascadesiskiyou.org/resource-man... Please RT! 🧪🌎

I'd like a physical copy of my #PhD thesis, but don't know the best printing option. ProQuest is offering for $75 (incl shipping). Anyone have experience with different companies offering physical thesis printing? No time urgency, shipping to the US. #Academia

Adopt a tree in your neighbourhood today! Bring it a bucket of water every time you go for a walk!

*****Water your young trees***** The upcoming weather is going to be an absolute killer for newly-planted saplings. They need 15 gallons of water a week. Make it happen for street trees planted near your house! For all our futures.

PSA: All #rstats package on #cran will get an official DOI! This will facilitate bibliometrics and giving credit to R package authors. Registering all 20,000+ packages will still take a few more days. But the first couple of thousand are already live. Example:
