  6. Dr. S. Lee Funk has spent more than 35 years studying the psychological origins of violence. His academic work dismantles the myth that rampage killings are random, replacing assumption with rigorous, multi-disciplinary research. If you want to understand one of the most urgent public safety challenges of our time, his Academia.edu profile is a good place to start.

  21. UC Berkeley: How AI is transforming research: More papers, less quality, and a strained review system. “Even as AI tools help researchers write more papers faster, many of these studies are of marginal scientific merit. The resulting flood of polished but potentially superficial work is making it harder for reviewers, funders, and policymakers to separate worthy papers from unimportant and […]

  22. The Register: AI conference’s papers contaminated by AI hallucinations. “[GPTZero] has identified 100 hallucinations in more than 51 papers accepted by the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS). This finding follows the company’s prior discovery of 50 hallucinated citations in papers under review by the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR).”

  23. Larry Ferlazzo: Google Unveils “Scholar Labs” For Academic Research – Seems “Meh”. “Google has unveiled ‘Scholar Labs,’ an AI tool designed to assist academic research. It’s part of what appears to be an unending search for ways to make their AI useful. They haven’t been that successful in the past, and I’m less-than-impressed with this new tool.”

  24. I’m not going to index every single one of these types of announcements, just this one to note it’s happening. UC Davis: Open Access Fund to End on January 30, 2026. “Like all campus units, the UC Davis Library is facing significant budget cuts. To help address the savings targets we have been assigned by campus, the library has made the difficult decision to discontinue supplemental support […]

  29. Excited to share new #research I co-authored with amazing experts in the field of addiction and recovery!

    In a sample of nearly 500 adults in Canada and the US with alcohol use disorder (AUD) who underwent a recovery attempt, substantial improvements in psychosocial wellbeing were reported for those who met the NIAAA definition of remission (low-risk drinking + no AUD symptoms present other than cravings).

    With most focus on abstinent-based recovery and associated outcomes, these findings offer support for the use of an alternative definition of recovery!

  30. 👩‍💼💬 Why do women in leadership often adopt a more masculine communication style? This study finds that the longer women stay in parliament, the more “masculine” their speech becomes – especially in progressive parties. Even language reflects how power remains gendered. 💭⚖️

  35. Ars Technica: Science journalists find ChatGPT is bad at summarizing scientific papers. “On the question of whether the ChatGPT summaries “could feasibly blend into the rest of your summary lineups, the average summary rated a score of just 2.26 on a scale of 1 (‘no, not at all’) to 5 (‘absolutely’). On the question of whether the summaries were “compelling,” the LLM summaries averaged just […]
