Au Royaume-Uni, les universités sacrifiées sur l’autel de la rentabilité : « Elles se sont muées en fournisseurs de prestations éducatives »

Funny that this only applies to manuscripts with a CC BY licence so there's nothing to stop you freely depositing the paper with a different CC licence including CC0.

** New resource ** We analysed the characteristics of words in 1200 books suitable for children and young people. Properties of each word (frequencies, etc) are now available in an interactive website. cyp-lex.rastlelab.com

Recording and slides now available from our discussion on Registered Reports and the future of peer review @pci-regreports.bsky.social 👇

help me out #NLP ers: who posted about writing (generating) a decent scientific paper in about 15 hours? Is there a good open source version?

Language researchers, unite! It was an honor to talk with Dr. Brian MacWhinney—visionary behind the CHILDES database, built in the 1980s long before open science was a movement. If you’ve studied language acquisition, you’ve likely benefited from his groundbreaking, open-access work. #psychology

R SemanticDistance package beta version live. Computes pairwise distance (dog:leash, dog:wolf) in both ordered (ngram-to-word) and unordered text (word list to matrix of distances, word pairs in columns). Suggestions welcome, demos coming. reilly-conceptscognitionlab.github.io/SemanticDist...

Any French academic out there who could give me some recommendation on how to best prepare an "audition" for a "Maître de conférence" post (section 16)? Collègues français, auriez-vous des conseils (ou des ressources à consulter) pour préparer au mieux une audition pour un poste de MCF (section 16)?

Next Tuesday, 6 May, we'll be in discussion with Prof Chris Chambers (Cardiff) about the @pci-regreports.bsky.social initiative, followed by Prof Emma Marsden @uoyeducation.bsky.social and @emmacsullivan.bsky.social @yorkpsychology.bsky.social on their experiences of publishing Registered Reports đź’¬

Any Edinburgh colleagues on vacation in July who need their flowers watered ? :) Happy to pay this back when I'm gone, I have a beautiful & spacious place in Leiden.

Online BRIC training workshop next Tues (6 May, 11:00-12:00): Research Data Management: the Basics 📊 This session introduces RDM and its benefits, why data management planning is important, and practical guidance on storing, organising and documenting your data 👍

This is a great point, and was one reason @abhsarma.bsky.social (with me + @jessicahullman.bsky.social) built a multiverse analysis tool that tries to help experts understand and evaluate the validity of subsets of a multiverse, rather than just shrugging: "enh, results vary" doi.org/10.1145/3613...

Looking forward to presenting to the Internationalisation Practitioner Network this week. đź“… March 27 1pm-2pm UK & Ireland time Please visit the Internationalisation Practitioner Network website for details on how the session: internationalpedagogies.home.blog

Preserve data, collect testimony, stand up for truth - and don't obey in advance: how academia should respond to Trump www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v... In @resprofnews.bsky.social by @lewan.bsky.social , @vkempe.bsky.social, Ulrike Hahn and Dawn Holford

The legality (not wisdom) of putting European private data on US clouds hinges on the availability of the US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. Trump neutered this board, and the European parliament has taken notice & asked the European Commission what they think:

"Individuals must ensure that they continue to advocate for open science practices, whilst taking care not to support or legitimize mis-use of these practices."

More of this please - fight against fascism *and* create project acronyms that use the first letter of words Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy act pocan.house.gov/media-center...

I think this podcast lays out what's happening right now pretty clearly: "You either fight this fight, or you have basically conceded that you do not have constitutional government anymore."

This episode with @juliesedivy.bsky.social is SUCH an interesting discussion of the interplay between linguistics and creative writing, I recommend it for writer friends/book nerds

"Methods based on infant speech segmentation, applied to 8 years of humpback recordings, uncovered in whale song the same statistical structure that is a hallmark of human language." Cool new paper by @inbalarnon.bsky.social, @simonkirby.bsky.social, @ellengarland.bsky.social out in @science.org. đź§Ş
