Saw this on twitter. I totally agree with this. I've seen many papers that failed to cite something important from another field or subfield of study. Many researchers these days are very focused on their own field and don't have time to learn the advances in another field. #AcademicSky #Research

Screenshot of a tweet: If we (researchers) have the time and commitment to learn from disciplines beyond our own, we would see fewer papers beginning with "No research has been done" or "little has been done" and more that start with "we are building on" or "we want to look at this differently"

When it comes to platform governance, we must reframe the conversation towards mandating transparency and accountability, with a specific focus on the internal recommendation engines, writes Tech Policy Press contributing editor Amber Sinha:

Why False Bias Claims Don’t Undermine the Case for Social Media Regulation | TechPolicy.Press

Big Tech's current self-regulatory practices fail to meet the requisite criteria for effective and meaningful self-governance, writes Amber Sinha.

My work with @arantes.bsky.social and Anitra Goriss-Hunter is finally out.

From Times HE "Australia’s opposition will review university fees, reintroduce the “50 per cent pass rule”, reclaim veto rights on research grants, regulate vice-chancellors’ salaries and “leave no stone unturned” to stamp out campus antisemitism if it wins the forthcoming federal election. *sigh*

So Dutton used a family trust to hide assets and minimize tax payable on buying and selling millions in properties but wants the people that can least afford it to use their super for a home ownership, that ruins their long game for retirement but Dutton will be just fine with his mega millions! 🤯

I really wish journalists would frame lying in politics as a weakness, as a sign of a lost argument, as morally wrong, as unfair on voters, as manipulative and bad for democracy, rather than the way it is currently presented - as a cunning political strategy.

If you missed it/are interested I wrote this rant about lazy comedians blaming wokeness for their bad jokes because it drives me insane 😃😃😃😃😃

Patrick Lenton@patricklenton.bsky.social · 2y ago

uh oh! It's the internet's darling @brocklesnitch.bsky.social, with one of the best arguments about "wokeness in comedy" I've read - namely that hack comedians who are obsessed with it are just bad at their job. heterosexualnonsense.substack.com/p/comedians-...

Yep. The LA fires have made it abundantly clear the response will always be: 1) Blame environmentalists 2) Try to buy their way out of it. Tbh Australia has now had a 20 years of so of bushfires being blamed on Green groups.

It would be a mistake to think that everyone experiencing the worsening impacts of climate change will suddenly accept what needs to happen to arrest it. Misinformation and conspiracy theories will be deployed to muddy the waters as much as possible - looking at the comments in the US, it's working
