  1. Research Priorities in Climate and Health Research

    The best research method--of course--but also philosophy, ethics, global heating and health: What more could we want? This article, below, discusses all that and more. And, by the way, the lead author happens to be my son, Toby Cumming.

    Here's the abstract:

  2. I've been smacked in the face again by the gaping abyss between research and common practise in the field I know most about, teaching.

    I recently came across Marzano and Kendall's new* taxonomy for educational objectives. This expands and extends Bloom's taxonomy to include metacognitive and self-system thinking skills in addition to the cognitive skills most teachers are familiar with.

    The book "The new taxonomy of educational objectives" was published in 2006 (ifeet.org/files/The-New-taxono). I did my teaching qualification in 2010, and no mention even of a revised Bloom's taxonomy was part of my training, let alone any, newer, alternatives.

    My bff has PhD in Mathematics Education, and has been an active researcher for over 20 years. My close colleague at the International School where I work is currently completing a PhD in Education. Neither of them had encountered this taxonomy either.

    Finding a 19 year old taxonomy that I had never even heard mentioned in any of my professional development was a bit of a shocker for me.

    It highlighted again for me the gap between research and practise that I think plagues most fields of knowledge. I know that it is an issue in conservation, education, and general practise medicine** - all fields where "ordinary practitioners" and especially administrators are not obliged to keep up with the newest scientific discoveries.

    **I know there is some level of obligation but the lack of response to COVID destroyed my faith in its usefulness.

  3. John Self, AI Pioneer, Chats With ChatGPT

    A Chat with ChatGPT by a veteran AI researcher

    John Self entered the field of AI in the early 1970s. He's a distinguished scholar who can claim to have introduced the idea of user model in his 1974 article (while visiting The University of Melbourne). He was writing in the context of AI in Education, a fi

  4. 🎓 Doctoral degrees at Hof University – starting 2026!
    A major milestone: Hof University will soon be able to award its own PhDs in selected research fields. 🧪💡

    This is made possible by joining the REDIG doctoral center for Resource Efficiency & Digitalization – alongside OTH Amberg-Weiden and Ansbach University.

  5. Are we alone? No.
    Other education sectors are hit as well. Probably equally nonsensical.
    Do we even dare to mention #HealthCare? Or #SocialCare?

    Another example is the contribution of the arts to society and the economy, which are summarised nicely here:
    commonslibrary.parliament.uk/r

    And I think my favourite disturbing quote from the THE piece is
    "Labour is “more interested” in how universities can help these specific missions, like supporting defence" (Andy Westwood)

  6. How about going after research funding instead? Or especially?
    (e.g., UKRI budget for 2025-26 at about £8.8bn: ukri.org/publications/ukri-bud )

    Well, to me it is difficult to imagine a more obvious way to counteract any narrative around growth & innovation.

    And this not only at universities / #HEI. Research funding supports industry as well (often in particular #SME), either directly or through strong encouragement to have cross-sector projects.

  7. 🏆 Excellence in Engineering!
    At the 16th Engineering Colloquium, Hof University honored the best theses of the year — celebrating innovation, technical depth, and real-world relevance. ⚙️📊

  8. Workshop Announcement!
    The afternoon program of our symposium will be filled with five different workshops. Here is a first announcement of the workshop topics. We will release the full abstracts of the workshop in the upcoming weeks.

    The workshop topics are:
    Analysis Blinding, Research Integrity, Applied Research, Tools and Promotion Plans and Lego for Reproducibility

  9. Wir gratulieren ganz herzlich! 💐
    Cornelia Ehmayer-Rosinak hat den mit €3.000 dotierten #TeachingAward der Fakultät für Psychologie der @univienna für ihr Anwendungsseminar zur #Stadtpsychologie gewonnen (in der Kategorie "Es gibt nichts Praktischeres als eine gute Theorie“).
    Es gab sehr viele Nominationen für diesen Preis – Psychologie ist ganz eindeutig eine Disziplin zwischen Grundlagen- und Anwendungsforschung, und Studierende wünschen sich auch Praxisbezug.

  23. Review paper almost done. Turns out the whole field is even more diverse than I initially expected. Including some pretty unconventional ideas ... At least they appear surprising from a perspective. Let's see what the reviewers think 🤞

  24. Hello: I'm a loyal, trustworthy, curious, kind, hardworking person. I have been told that I am great at solving problems with a keen mind and good ideas. My Ph.D. is for INDUSTRY.
