I’m still thinking about this, and wondering what sort of support might be useful I suspect even just having a space to share ideas and strategies ends up being useful before we get into lists of tools or apps or anything like that, what do you think? (And big thanks to all who’ve already replied)

Long Covid is almost completely erased from scholarly, professional and public knowledge in Brazil. Yet prevalence and symptoms are the same as in the Global North, where most research is located. We are trying to increase its recognition!

I have been talking with students about their uncritical use of Gen AI in their writing, and they talk about the intense time pressure of multiple assignments and deadlines. If we want students to have time to think and appreciate space to explore we might have to rethink everything!

Israel’s intensified attacks on Gaza have killed more than 130 Palestinians in a matter of hours, as ceasefire negotiations continue. Horrific videos show people in pieces and on fire following strikes on tents sheltering displaced civilians. aje.io/j1wke5
