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.

An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):
67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.
🙂 https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2025.3000
O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.

Waiting for my current advising committee member to grade the current part of my thesis so I can post it on my blog because I think y'all will enjoy my takedown of retail grocery buying app algorithms as contributing to loyalty program "creep factors" and putting blinders on grocery consumers by forcing people to fill their baskets with habitual purchases, rather than suggesting new products like the weekly ad in-store print flyers.

Working on part 2/8 of my master's thesis. Currently just under 4k words and just over 20 pages. Trying to finish designing an economy of scale study on how hard it is for a grocery store to make and sell its own bread, and then how to pass the bread along in an ethical way without contributing further to food waste. And it's due in about 30 hours but I'm only going to spend another hour or two on the damn thing lol.

🐱📜 Excited to be back at the Domestic Cats in Literature conference! I’m presenting "The Cloister Cat in Context", exploring how Hildegard von Bingen wrote about cats—as both practical mousers and rich spiritual symbols. 🏰🐈✨
I even asked my AI agent to create a Pixar-style trailer for my paper… here’s what it came up with! 🎬🐾
Curious about AI in fan art? Read my paper here: https://doi.org/10.3983/twc.2023.2431

I'm teaching my first lecture at the new job today, about probabilistic logic programming, probabilistic inference, and (weighted) model counting.
Some of the required reading is a paper (https://eccc.weizmann.ac.il/eccc-reports/2003/TR03-003/index.html) that was written by a great mentor of mine, prof. dr. Fahiem Bacchus. He passed away just over 2 years ago, and I am honoured to keep his memory alive by teaching his ideas to a new generation of students. Hope to do him proud. 🌱
Please send good vibes? 🥺

Making the most of my only day off this week by listening to a podcast on research methodologies while I clean the bathrooms. Sigh.

It's wonderful to see the #academic community developing here. The great migration happened during #UPWeek in November, so we'd love to highlight some of our fellow presses in the @aupresses community to help everyone get to know more about #AcademicPublishing in #2023. To start, learn what's #NextUP at SUNY Press: https://sunypress.edu/Blog/2022/Who-is-NextUP-at-SUNY-Press

#ProudAdvisor day
The first, 1st-author paper by @sgrouffal, who just started a #PhD with me, is now fully published on #AandA. Hence, it will be a Grouffal et al. (2022).
She wrote that paper during her #Master #thesis (also with me as supervisor).
Salomé started her #PhD in October this year, and she is already writing a second 1st-author #paper.
Keep on the good work @sgrouffal 👍
