I don't think I make enough noise about the fact that one of my brothers wrote a children's book "Yoruba Phonics". It's currently 51 in Children's Early Learning Books on Language on Amazon and has 5 stars! Proud sis here! www.amazon.co.uk/Yoruba-Phoni...

Abdoulaye Djimdé spent decades decoding malaria drug resistance from inside the communities where it strikes. Now, in addition to this fieldwork, he’s advising on global science policy. #chemsky 🧪

Universities can do without such myopic decisions. I regularly have conversations /w students & ECRs about their writing skills & the risks of giving in to AI. The 💡 go on when I explain the inevitable tipping point in society’s trust in AI. All we will have left will be our own abilities to write.

It‘s quite possible that with this move, @harvard.edu could become the only Ivy League university without a writing center. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Jason is the youngest Black professor in Cambridge’s history. Rightwing newspapers are trying to smear him with fake accusations of plagiarism. We can't let them. Stand up to their hate and division by adding your name. goodlawproject.org/s/3ec4c0

Hey Siri, show me a system that looks to filter out the scientific discoveries of women with seniority. The paper confirms the hostility many of us feel is baked into the editorial & peer review community (sitting behind a veil of anonymity) that prefer to see papers led by women thrown out.

Excerpt from the paper: Gendered effects in peer review At Science and Science Advances, manuscripts with women corresponding authors make up a gradually declining share from submission to review to acceptance (20.9% → 20.8% → 19.7% → 17.9% and 22.3% → 21.4% → 21.3% → 20.1%, respective-ly; Fig. 2B). Accounting for available covari-ates via multiple logistic regression reveals a small but statistically significant association with corresponding author gender in being sent to review or accepted after review (B = -0.08, P < 0.001 for sent to review; B = -0.13, P = 0.011 for accepted; tables S8 and S11).% plot of women’s representation among first authors (solid symbols), corresponding authors (open symbols), and among first-round peer reviewers (crossed symbols) over the evaluation process. Red line and symbols indicate the journal Science, blue indicating Sci Adv. all lines generally trending down from Submission stage, through editorial and peer review stages to acceptance stages.
