"‘Which is the best university in the world?’ is not a useful question. ‘Which university might be best for me, given that I care about X and Y?’ is a better question — but one for which current measures are unlikely to provide a good answer"

To reform universities, first tackle global rankings
Universities are in thrall to a rankings system that prioritizes narrow aspects of academic life. Three changes would give institutions the freedom to explore fresh ways of working.

I'm reading a biography of Oppenheimer and the author spends like half of the book so far debating whether or not he was a communist and concluding it's impossible to know. Spoiler: he absolutely was.

A transcript is the only way to make video or audio content accessible to someone who is both deaf and blind. Transcripts can be converted into braille, to be read on a refreshable braille output device.

Anybody know a go-to web developer for reasonable (i.e., academic, probably slightly unreasonable) fee who can revamp website with emphasis on #accessibility?

Some people may be unable to use a mouse, and instead rely exclusively on keyboards, or use assistive technologies such as speech recognition, head pointers, mouth sticks, or eye-gaze tracking systems. If a website is accessible only to mouse users, these people will be excluded.

The paper was accepted just a week after submission and claims no data were analysed, despite data clearly being analysed in the paper. The author gives his affiliation as Richard Lynn’s Ulster Institute for Social Research. Wouldn’t be happy if I were on the editorial board of this journal

The best way to show that MAGA is not part of some dark authoritarian movement is to remove professors who suggest that it is
Indiana University removed a Lecturer from her "Diversity, Human Rights, and Social Justice" course after a student filed a complaint about a graphic the instructor showed in class, which included "Make America Great Again" as an example of "Covert White Supremacy."

Important paper in RSOS advocating for scientific publishing reform. Imagine if we started re-prioritizing knowledge and not metrics. The academy needs to take this seriously.
