Sharing a little bit more about my NEH-sponsored research on anatomical museums today. I have no idea if this project will retain funding, but I am incredibly grateful for the NEH program officers and reviewers who have made so much humanities research possible. sscottgraham.com/archives/911

“Utah waived a series of local regulations for Doctronic… The company’s executives, meanwhile, told STAT they have not spoken to the FDA. The case highlights policy and safety questions that loom as AI companies wade into automating clinical care without a full accounting of the risks and benefits”
AI could soon renew prescriptions without clinician help. Should the FDA make sure it's safe?
In a pilot, Utah is testing use of AI for renewing drug prescriptions. Experts ask if it should be regulated as a medical device.

SFSU offers buyouts to all tenure-track and tenured faculty
The Voluntary Separation Incentive Program is a “balancing act,” where there is a stronger incentive for tenured and tenure-track faculty to retire and open up room to hire back lecturer faculty.

I've heard this 1,000 times a day. I believed it until 2 weeks ago. Then I learned that the 2026 National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Jobs Outlook report found that only 10% of job ads ask for AI skills. Tell your friends.
It’s because every single employer who hires interns/co-ops/new grads is demanding it, or at least saying loudly they are prioritizing AI readiness in such roles. That’s the signal they’re responding to.
