This sounds plausible to me. But if it’s true, it means that the age of social media might be over soon, with only the old and wrinkled (like myself) spending any actual time there.

This piece starts well:

"At MIT, I study the history and future of education technology, and I have never encountered an example of a school system – a country, state or municipality – that rapidly adopted a new digital technology and saw durable benefits for their students."

What past education technology failures can teach us about the future of AI in schools

It can take years to collect evidence that shows effective uses of new technologies in schools. Unfortunately, early guesses sometimes go seriously wrong.

I'm personally especially excited for the keynote by Dr. Desiree Dickerson. 🎉

When everything feels like an opportunity, a priority, or an obligation, how do we say no? We'll unpack why we tend to say yes & how to start saying no! 🔥

Excited to release the SPOT grid: a new image set that factorially crosses scene-object & texture-pattern pairings.

We hope these stimuli will be useful to researchers aiming to (partially) disentangle the contributions of lower- and higher-level visual features to behavior & brain activity.

1/

8x8 grid depicting the approach to stimulus creation. Feature pairs are on the axes and images are in the cells. The x-axis represents the high-level feature pairs: setting (green) and object (teal). For example, the first column of images all depict “truck” (object) in “field” (setting) rendered in various textures and patterns. The y-axis represents low-level feature pairs: texture (blue) and pattern (purple). For example, the first row of images all depict different objects and settings rendered as if drawn with crayon (texture) and containing large horizontal edges (pattern).

Decades in science taught me this: inequity won’t end with optics or lip service. The system won’t transform itself. Real change means building sideways: horizontal collaborations, valuing local expertise, and setting other terms for authorship, funding, and leadership.

I wrote my new Nature World View in this transition — one last reflection before leaving Colombia. It explains why inequities persist in science, even when dressed up as inclusion, and why we must stop mistaking access for change. 👉 rdcu.be/eGEun

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending | Nature

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system. Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.

Equity in science is still a beautiful lie. After 27 years in Colombia — shaping me as a person and scientist — I begin a new chapter as Distinguished Researcher @csic.es in Spain. Yet I learnt that geography, networks & prestige still outweigh merit, favoring privileged colleagues, conscious or not

So tiring.

I had a chance to talk face to face with ppl in power positions who by default thought my gender & critical thought imply I know nothing about AI. Within 10 min they realise they know nothing about AI.

Why do women need to always do massive meta-labour to even get an ounce of respect

Şahcan Özdemir @sahcan.bsky.social · Mar 7

Preprint Alert!!

In our latest study, we describe a novel relationship between action planning and working memory. Our results show that action-item associations affect how working memory maintains the fidelity of sensory information during a task.

Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Motor control processes moderate visual working memory gating

Gating processes that regulate sensory input into visual working memory (WM) and the execution of planned actions share neural mechanisms, suggesting a mutual interaction. In a preregistered study (OS...
