extremely bad editorial management by @springernature.com SN Social Sciences. A #manuscript sent in June and the rejection is sent nearly three months later. They are playing with our careers. Very frustrating. It shows that Springer is no longer a publisher of reputation

I’ve read at some point that the UK has too many graduates and hence the need to either reduce student recruitment, import students or close institutions. This graph shows that it is high, but similar to other areas: www.voronoiapp.com/education/Th...

I asked Claude to write me a story about a doctor and a nurse… guess what gender the nurse and the doctor were… # Between Shifts

“Dr. Chen stared at the monitor, *his* eyes burning from (…).
Nurse Rivera appeared beside him, two steaming cups in hand. *Her* scrubs were as rumpled …”

When will anyone think of colour blindness...
The new release of RStudio prints errors, warnings and messages in different colours. That's a great improvement! I teach introductory #Rstats a lot, and students *always* think messages are errors. Hopefully this will help.

Today is Romani Resistance Day, which commemorates the day in 1944 when 6,000 Romani prisoners in the Zigeunerlager at Auschwitz-Birkenau learned that they were all to be gassed, and rose up to fight back with “stones, iron pipes, wood panels, barbed wire [and] smuggled pikes.”

I’m unexpectedly happier with #copilot than I used to be with #perplexity: it just reads more into #journal articles. It’d be interesting to see what happens when these things only read into peer reviewed articles (maybe it’s already happening and I’ve missed it?)
