I need suggestions for a journal that will publish some careful work we have that shows how difficult it is to collect specific data carefully and how to it properly. It accidentally shows key papers in the field are likely wrong. Currently getting referees telling us there is no **impact**…

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

Admin are continually pressuring us to make the course "more accessible," by which they mean "devastatingly easy to complete," but it's not about access. Many students refuse to read or write in any capacity that isn't tech-aided, no matter how simple the assignment, no matter how process-based.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

After 3 broken trains, and 2h delay, I’m finally in Delft for the MicroNano conference. If you’re around, in the afternoon I’ll give a talk on “uncommon microfluidics” . Which, you know me, it is mostly 3D printing :)
