The most enlightened read I had in a long time about IA usage in universities and the deep corrosion of cognitive work, particularly by college students. A great perspective by a university professor and food for thought on the long and daunting path we have in front of us.
The Death of the Student Essay—and the Future of Cognition
One professor's reflections on the end of an era, as AI tools such as ChatGPT have murdered the student essay (RIP). Here's why that threatens the future of human cognition—and how to save ourselves.

Enjoy #microbio25? Read about how the Members Panel made @microbiologysociety.org events more accessible and inclusive. Proud of our achievements and honoured I get to work with inspirational #microbiologists as Co-Chair of the Panel, representing historically marginalised members. shorturl.at/Pch7c
Building an inclusive culture at scientific meetings: foundations for future progress
Scientific meetings and conferences are crucial in knowledge dissemination, fostering collaborations, professional development and inspiring innovative research. However, their traditional structure and organization have remained largely unchanged, perpetuating barriers that continue to exclude scientists from historically marginalized backgrounds. In response, the Microbiology Society has begun its journey to address these longstanding challenges, redesigning its meetings to create a more inclusive culture and a welcoming environment for all participants.
