🖋️ Curious how writing differs across (research) cultures?
🚩 Tired of “cultural” evals that don't consult people?
We engaged with interdisciplinary researchers to identify & measure ✨cultural norms✨in scientific writing, and show that❗LLMs flatten them❗

Assuming this is the true criteria they are using, it’s telling that “female” and “woman” are on this list but “male” and “man” are not 🙃
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

🌟 In our new paper, we rethink how we should be controlling for these factors 🧵:

Always a new linguistic treasure to unearth: I didn't know this UNESCO map from 2018! Of course there is much to say about how accurate it is, with dialects vs languages, extinct vs endangered, but regardless, it shows a type of linguistic diversity in Europe that is rarely highlighted. #LingSky
