AI may accelerate some research tasks by an order of magnitude, but science is more than productivity.
Mentoring students, developing expertise and passing on scientific culture remain central to the research enterprise.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives of the Netherlands will vote on the proposed budget, which includes dramatic budget cuts to higher education.
Today is the last opportunity for us to make our voices heard before tomorrow's vote. There will be protests throughout the country.
At Delft University of Technology, we will gather at 1pm in front of the Aula for a walk-out.

1/2: Global Faculty Development might sound like a slogan or exaggeration of international outreach, but I learned from having such a position at Kansai University in Osaka from 2016-2020 that Global FD can have a specific and practical definition in a suitable context. Basically, Global FD means meeting the needs of non-native English-using faculty members in non-Western countries. Specific guidance could involve preparing teachers for English-medium (or other international language) instruction (particularly to classes with international students), giving presentations at international conferences, publishing journal papers, and other scholarly
tasks. Research findings: "Meeting Global Faculty Development Needs in Japan" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330778631 or https://www.academia.edu/38264974
