Smart Phone Bans in schools failed to positively impact academic outcomes based on research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Strict phone bans resulted in a meaningful decline in student cellphone us - duh! But test scores have not increased on average, and at first, banning phones led to higher suspension rates.
The research included more than 40,000 schools between 2019 and 2026. Over time, students in schools with strict bans reported a greater sense of personal well-being, however, the bans did not improve student attendance or perceptions of online bullying. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/did-school-cellphone-bans-study.html #SmartPhones #PhoneBans #Mobility #Students #Academics #CellPhone #Disicpline #Suspensions #OnlineBullying #SocialMedia

Academic writing is a different kind of tired.
You have to hold a mental picture of the forest, the trees, and the veins on a single leaf. SIMULTANEOUSLY! (and justify each one to a standard that survives review)..
Then rinse and repeat across days.
You finish a session and you can’t read a text message because you’ve been contextswitching between altitude levels for 13 hours straight and your working memory is just gone.
People don’t see that. They see someone sitting at a desk.
The thinking is the labour and it is relentless.I say this as someone with 20+ years of commercial and industry experience before I went into academia.

"Israeli universities are embedded in the Israeli state’s military-industrial complex and actively contribute to the occupation of Palestinian land and the apartheid and genocide of Palestinian life. German universities and academic institutions serve as strategic partners in the Israeli colonial apparatus."

CHANGE MY MIND:
1. All textbooks, study materials, lecture notes, question papers, etc. prescribed and used in educational institutions must be available under the CC-BY-SA-NC license.
2. All the software that students need to use or be exposed to in educational institutions, during their academic course must be under the GPLv3 license.

Hi, everyone! I wanted to say thank you for all of the helpful comments and suggestions for my friend's daughter and her research. You were brilliant! I am most grateful.
FYI, I also recalled that the scholarly journal #Mythlore is now open source and fully searchable, and it is a gold mine! I am sharing the link here in case it is useful to anyone else:

Hi, everyone! I was hoping to crowdsource a thoughtful and thorough answer from some of the most knowledgeable folks I know. The daughter of a good friend of mine -- the daughter is a high school senior who can easily handle college-level reading -- wants to do a major research paper, I quote, "on the women of Avalon in Gawain and the Green Knight and Lanval." She's interested in "how empowered those women are relative to other women (and also the men) in the story." Which secondary sources (online and easily accessible to a high schooler without access to a university library) do you think she should check out? Scholarly articles are most welcome. Thanks so much for any suggestions/links!

#HigherEd figures from #Duke, #Harvard , #UCLA & #Yale reveàled as chums amongst #EpsteinFiles in latest doc drop.
#DOJ released a new batch of 3 million pages from #JeffreyEpstein case, revealing correspondence with prominent figures at top tier schools even after his 2008 conviction with name-drops including figures from #Kinsey Institute having lunch with Epstein and a former Israeli PM.
Latest doc dump includes over a half dozen top #academics in trove, prompting some #Edu institutional embarrassment.
Amongst those shown to have years of sporadic contacts are a prominent #Connecticut school's computer science professor David Gelernter, who was infamously injured after being targeted by #Unabomber Ted Kacynski, but later in life crafted correspondence casually chatting with the convicted sex offender regarding female students on campus he had working for him.
A controversial Duke "behavioral economics" professor named David Ariely who wrote an advice column in #WSJ for a decade is mentioned 636x, although he had previously confirmed only two meetings with Epstein, despite documents that now show at least seven personal interactions.
Others newly named include some top Harvard donors and academics along with those previously mentioned such as former #SocialSciences dean Stephen M. Kosslyn, "Evolution Center" director Martin Nowak and #LarrySummers.
#Florida police first began investigating #Epstein in March 2005 after a 14-year-old girl reported being molested at his home not far from Mar-A-Lago. Eventuallly arrested after a probe in 2006, he pleaded guilty to lesser prostitution charges through a non-prosecution agreement arranged by future #Drumpf admin official Alex Acosta in June 2008. By mid 2019, under add'l media scrutiny, #Epstein himself was found dead in a detention cell in #Federal custody while awaiting trial on new sex #trafficking charges.

From a recent post looking for PhD theses databases across Europe, I got lots of boosts (thanks) but only returns from very few European countries. So I wonder : how many active scientists (lets say having published one peer-reviewed paper in the last five years) are on mastodon from the different EU countries ?
Pools only have 10 choices, so more countries are in the next post 🙂
please boost mainly on servers with a science theme
And if I have missed any hashtags that are followed by many scientists, please add
