Great moment: My five-month-old daughter said "dad" for the first time😀. Let's see if the result is going to be replicated. 😀

The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.

@LuizaJarovsky People usually think AI taking their job but my biggest concern is about having a future generation with no ability to learn!

🚨 University professors have been saying AI is completely destroying learning and that we'll soon have an AI-powered, semi-illiterate workforce. Here's a glimpse into the educational apocalypse: "Sarah, a freshman at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, said she first used ChatGPT to cheat during the spring semester of her final year of high school. (...) After getting acquainted with the chatbot, Sarah used it for all her classes: Indigenous studies, law, English, and a “hippie farming class” called Green Industries. “My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT. Toward the end of the semester, she began to think she might be dependent on the website. She already considered herself addicted to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit, where she writes under the username maybeimnotsmart. “I spend so much time on TikTok,” she said. “Hours and hours, until my eyes start hurting, which makes it hard to plan and do my schoolwork. With ChatGPT, I can write an essay in two hours that normally takes 12.” - "By November, Williams estimated that at least half of his students were using AI to write their papers. Attempts at accountability were pointless. Williams had no faith in AI detectors, and the professor teaching the class instructed him not to fail individual papers, even the clearly AI-smoothed ones. “Every time I brought it up with the professor, I got the sense he was underestimating the power of ChatGPT, and the departmental stance was, ‘Well, it’s a slippery slope, and we can’t really prove they’re using AI,’” Williams said. “I was told to grade based on what the essay would’ve gotten if it were a ‘true attempt at a paper.’ So I was grading people on their ability to use ChatGPT.” - AI in education is a serious topic, and many schools and universities are blindly jumping into the "AI-first" wave without considering short and long-term consequences. It would be great to hear more from teachers and educators to understand potential solutions. This might be a great opportunity for rethinking the education system and how students are assessed. - 👉 Link to the full article below. 👉 To learn more about AI's legal and ethical challenges, join my newsletter's 94,700+ subscribers (link below).

The next edition of the IEEE Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP) Workshop will take place in Atlanta, USA, from September 28 to October 1, 2026! 🤩 Take a look at the website for further information and deadlines: mlsp26.ieeesps.org See you soon Atlanta! 🚀

Calling all neuromodulation researchers. We are looking for the latest updates in neurotechnology for the DBS Think Tank Volume VI special issue. You now have until April 9 to submit your manuscripts. Details and submission link: frontiersin.org/research-topic…

The mistake people make re meditation: they presume we should feel peaceful while doing it. It’s about observing your stress & learning to not react to it (in the same way exercise is a stressor that triggers an adaption). Meditation builds stress tolerance. @RichieJDavidson

Richard Feynman’s savage takedown of pseudo-science still burns in 2026: “Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms… but they don’t get any laws. They haven’t found out anything.” He goes harder: Experts who “sit at a typewriter and make up” claims — “organic food is better,” “this diet cures everything” — as if it’s settled science, when no rigorous experiments or checks have been done. Feynman: “I know what it means to really know something. How careful you have to be. How easy it is to fool yourself. I see how they get their information… and I can’t believe that they know.” The Nobel physicist calls it straight: most of what passes for “expert” opinion is noise dressed up as knowledge. In an age drowning in TikTok “science,” influencers, and clickbait studies — Feynman’s 1:52 rant feels more relevant than ever. Who’s the biggest pseudo-expert that grinds your gears right now? Clip is timeless fire — watch it and feel the clarity.

@SanaYousafzai9 Have this former CIA officer heard of traffic control cameras?:)

#BREAKING:— Former CIA officer revealed in his latest podcast that Israel had recruited thousands of Afghans in Iran to collect information about sensitive military sites and personnel in its 12 day war with Iran. They are NAMAK HARAAM for a reason.

Peer review would be easier if we stopped treating it like combat with the authors. Results want to be free, and perfect is the enemy of good. Do the data support the conclusions? If so, that’s enough. A paper isn’t a blank slate for projecting your own ideas.

9/9 The sutdy lead by @DavidErritzoe and jointly supervised by @Dr_C_Routledge and Ellen James Here is a short video from Dr. James from three years ago discussing the effects of DMT: youtube.com/watch?v=b8Xusz…

8/9 Still, tiny science goblin warning: this was a small early-phase study, so the findings are promising but not definitive. Larger confirmatory trials are still needed.

🧵1/9 A new Nature Medicine (@NatureMedicine) study reports that DMT (N, N-Dimethyltryptamine)-assisted therapy produced a rapid reduction in depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder.

I stand against regimes, not innocent people. Praying for freedom for Iranians and safety for civilians in Iran and Israel. #Iran #Israel #CiviliansFirst #FreedomForIran

Being a U.S. congresswoman with such limited knowledge of recent history is quite shameful.

If you are in medical research or in academia more broadly, this is one of the scariest things you can see today. A budget preserved on paper means little if the money does not reach the people doing the work. Source: lnkd.in/eVu4dW43
