I feel like this may prove to be the most prescient cartoon of the 21st century.

I will tolerate recurrent laryngeal nerve slander no longer! It's actually the result of several elegant solutions to difficult problems in embryology, and the length is a non-issue. A 🧵 1/13

My meager education in biology and evolution gave me the mistaken impression that evolution optimized everything. But it didn't. One example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). It goes from behind your ear, loops down below your aorta, and then back up to the voice-box 1/2

How can something emerge from absolute nothingness, if nothingness has no potential? ✍️

Men en skattekrona till AcadeMedia går inte att följa från den stund den lämnar kommunens konto.

Svenska folket ska kunna följa en skattekrona från att den betalas ut, hela vägen ut i fält. Regeringen uppdrar därför idag Sida att öka transparensen (🧵)

@thedavenelson Mollick’s point was the type of usage we’re seeing isn’t as a tutor but as an automated task machine and that isn’t helpful to student learning. A user has to know how to work the interface to produce a tutoring session otherwise the AI simply offloads learning by answering.

The shocking (but also totally not shocking) point raised at last night’s OpenAI Education Forum were the majority of their global 250 million weekly users are students. Their CFO noted a 90% up tick in ChatGPT usage in the Philippines once the school year began.

F-betyget skrotas!!! 🙌 Detta kommer att lösgöra MÄNGDER av tid som jag hoppas att lärare får lägga på god undervisning istället.
Kollegor, SOM vi har kämpat för detta!! 🥳 Och det verkar som vi har lyckats förklara det destruktiva med en skarp F-gräns!

Air purifiers in Finnish daycare reduced children's illnesses by 18% in a carefully controlled study. This implies huge potential for better public health and cost savings from sick leaves, with a simple intervention against airborne infections.

Kanske utse förstedomare som kan visa nya arbetssätt? Har de individuella löner i domstolsväsendet? Testa det annars. Och ge fri etableringsrätt åt privata domstolar som kan göra vinst som återinvesteras i effektivare verksamheter. Finns massor att göra!

70 % av domare uppger att de inte hinner utföra arbetet under ordinarie arbetstid. Situationen är ett allvarligt hot mot rättssäkerheten då en domare har oerhörd makt. Felbeslut kan få förödande konsekvenser, inte minst för brottsoffer och åtalade. aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/pPdk…

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

This is a great example of several things:
the importance of ecological services
the potential harms of widespread synthetic chemical use
how industrial systems can never be more thermodynamically efficient than natural systems

I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard.
Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.

🚨Longyearbyen (Svalbard) in the Arctic (78°N) measures its warmest summer after record shattering August.🚨
🌡️With an average temperature of 8.6°C, Longyearbyen measures its 3rd consecutive record warm summer.
The summer of 2024 breaks last year’s record by a large margin.

Don't use Sci-Hub — it's a "controversial" website with 84M+ research papers freely available.
We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
Anyway, here's a thread on how to integrate Sci-Hub with Zotero 7 to get free papers.
DO NOT DO IT!

Det är inte det minsta svårt att förstå varför Gunnar Strömmer gjorde karriär genom att försvara individens rättigheter gentemot staten tills han fick makt över staten.
Dagens ETC@ETC_redaktionen
Det är svårt att förstå är att Gunnar Strömmer tidigare var en ihärdig advokat för de rättigheter han nu nedmonterar. etc.se/ledarkolumn/re…
