Testing out @zotero for the first time after many years of #kbibtex. I'm very impressed and together with the #BetterBibTeX plugin it seems to fill all my needs.

And you can even expose your own publications on their website:

Just published: my 3rd & final PhD paper!

How should we talk about vaccination rates?

Assuming rationality, normativity, or reasonableness leads to very different outcomes.

Findings from 3 experiments:

Springer are rats.

I attended a conference where proceedings are published by Springer Nature.

Since there are many papers, proceedings are in two volumes (makes sense for physical books only, but OK).

During the conference, we didn't have access to presented papers, which is not very convenient, but I guess this is also on the conf organizers.

"Well, at least, we will have the proceedings after the conference," we said with other researchers attending the conference. And we received them indeed. But only the volume where our own paper is, not the other one.

So half of the papers we talked about during the conference week are not accessible to me! WONDERFUL.

Do you know the feeling?! - "This makes me suspect that some reviewers are asking large language models to ‘write a critical review of this manuscript’ or ‘provide reasons to reject this paper’, then copying the output verbatim." https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-025-01327-1 #peerreview #generativeAI #AcademicPublishing #AcademicMastodon @Nature

It's the Monday before finals week. How behind am I on grading?

So behind!

But today I'm mostly focused on getting feedback back to my historical research & writing students on their second full drafts, then making sure that everything is prepped for the last few classes.

*Then* it's grading madness.

So @uzh conducted an unauthorized social experiment on reddit involving LLMs.

https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/1k8b2hj/meta_unauthorized_experiment_on_cmv_involving/

I don't care about the data or harm that much, besides "it didn't go wrong this time" not being an excuse.

I'd just like to know what mastodon thinks about informed consent?

Is it OK to publish research (and thus profit from it in terms of reach and "academic fame") when the research has violated ethics rules?

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
When you see a budget cut
Don’t forget to scream:

Onderwijs is een recht, geen privilege!

Interview met Michel Don Michaloliákos, docent Bestuurskunde aan de Universiteit Leiden over hoe Kabinet Schoof het hoger onderwijs sloopt. Na de 1.1 miljard bezuinigingen op hoger onderwijs, kondigde het kabinet nu ook een half miljard bezuinigingen op het lager en middelbaar onderwijs aan.
