“This paper discusses some of the particular challenges that empirical music researchers face when working towards Open Research practices: handling (1) (multi)media files, (2) privacy, and (3) copyright issues.”

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

Trump regime plans to cancel all climate research at @noaa.gov , including its Mauna Loa CO2 measurements, running since 1958.
Last year's budget was $220 million. Next year's would be $0.

@eliocamp haha no! He is actually looking for a better way of measuring laterality than handedness - he thinks saccadic latency might do it
This come through in the measures proposed by models, as well. For instance, sense of belonging is an imperfect measure (it's developed by humans) but the model it's based in, its empirical evidence history and context, and its supported usage can reveal inequities in human experience and the mechanisms we use to explain it can predict and explain inequity and equity experiences.
Not so for "developer satisfaction."
@MarekMcGann @grimalkina oooh interesting!
If I have to see this goddamn "spatial ability" argument one more time. Get more specific. What type of spatial ability you absolute clowns. Exactly what task, and explain how you address the spatial ability conflation with gender problems. Explain why and how these diffs vanish when you include all the spatial tasks THAT RESEARCHERS REMOVED BECAUSE GIRLS WERE GOOD AT THEM

Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia
Kindergarten children dropped seeds in the crack of the sidewalk to see what would happen
In a world inundated with technology and digital distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of the simplicity and charm of nature.
A recent guerrilla gardening experiment by kindergarten children reminds us of nature’s resilience and its ability to flourish in the most improbable spaces.
The children did an experiment in guerrilla gardening by dropping seeds into sidewalk cracks and observing the results. At first glance, it might have appeared to be a fruitless endeavor – what could possibly […]
NEW: Colleges and universities renew Turnitin subscriptions year after year even though its flawed detectors are expensive and require students to let the company keep their papers forever. https://themarkup.org/artificial-intelligence/2025/06/26/ai-detector-california
Something I LOVE, and that just shows how much deep work goes into every episode, is that our show notes for every single thing we investigate read like a mini syllabus.
For this one, @analog_ashley linked for you an online interactive textbook with an introduction to EEG: https://neuraldatascience.io/7-eeg/introduction.html
She's always the open education, open STEM champion ❤️
@eliocamp wait, you’re interested in laterality? I have a PhD student studying that!
Nope. Nothing I might add could improve this headline.
I have a neat craft idea for all those glossy Cuomo mailers. I think using a bit of resin one could make a fashionable paper mache trash can, they are very thick with high quality color printing so it'd probably even be waterproof.
Dang I should have saved them.

More than almost any other figure in the Trump administration, Karoline Leavitt annoys people, especially women.
Everyone in the White House sucks, so I look at why she's especially aggravating.
Hint: Her ability to irritate you is why she got the job.

@djnavarro @eliocamp ugh fuck all of this
@mattblaze @alienghic came here to say this! I got in trouble for saying this in an academic meeting and I said “there’s literally a citation for this!”
