What if neurodivergent minds are not simply different ways of processing information, but different ways of knowing the world? 💜

New publication! 🎉 "Neurodivergent Embodiment in Posthuman Media: Towards a Soft Aesthetics of Cognition" in dialog explores neurodivergence, posthumanism, AI, embodied cognition, and proposes the concept of a "soft aesthetics of cognition."

In a few weeks, I will be coming to California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA for my 2 yr #postdoc . It is my first time in the #USA and I am excited, but anxious.

Any tips on finding affordable #housing , #transport, or just getting started in general would be highly appreciated. If you live there and want to make a new friend, DM me!

Cornell Chronicle: Digital research repository arXiv to start new chapter as nonprofit. “When [Professor Paul] Ginsparg returned to Cornell as a professor in 2001, he brought the online research repository arXiv with him. And for 25 years it has remained at Cornell, where it has grown into a global clearinghouse for millions of research papers, accessible to anyone with an internet connection. […]

The Conversation: Anyone can fake a scientific image with AI, tricking even academic journals – and undermining trust in science. “The proliferation of AI-generated science images in public spaces is not simply a misinformation problem.

What happens when AI helps write science?

A Nature commentary suggests one overlooked consequence: uncertainty may become less visible in scientific papers, even though it is central to how knowledge advances.

Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.

Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):

1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability

#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia

Please #boost so I can reach other academics.

Just found out that my article “Diving into the Depths: Exploring Interpersonal Relationships in Mermaid Fanfiction” has now been published online in The Journal of Fandom Studies. 🧜‍♀️📚

The article explores friendship, chosen family and interpersonal relationships in mermaid fanfiction, and forms part of my PhD research.

What I value most is the opportunity to research subjects that genuinely fascinate me!
