"Antidepressants are not more effective than placebo"

"Treatment-resistant depression is a depression that doesn't not react on antidepressants treatment. <...> Treatment-resistant depression is marketing"

Today I got to know about the case of Vera Rubin

Tbh, I cannot consider the Nobel Prize award as a serious one anymore: to systematically ignore real geniuses, just because they are women is not serious, it is infantile and incompetent

Я, кстати, согласна. Понятно что ИИ имеет цели создать секту шатателей реальности, она вообще не имеет целей. Но тот факт что довольно несложным алгоритмом (привычка к неформальному общению с ИИ + долгие разговоры про обретение им самосознания), могут привести к ТАКОМУ лагу - пугающий.

If you work in women's health, or you're a woman, or you're a doctor to women, please read the new World Economic Forum report, Prescription for Change, which lays out the problem of women's exclusion from research. Impressive suggestions. So much work to do!

If you’re still using Duolingo, this is what you’re supporting.

“Duolingo’s founder and CEO Luis von Ahn believes there’s nothing a computer can’t teach—but says schools won’t go extinct because people need childcare.”
Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’
Duolingo replaced its contract workers with AI. Now its eyes are set on schools.

The "big, beautiful" federal budget bill passed in the House while you were sleeping includes 1 trillion dollars - that's ONE TRILLION - in cuts to health and human service programs, including Medicaid and SNAP, so they can offer $1 trillion in tax cuts for those who make more than $500,000.

🧪 Detailed data viz NYT article, out today, on the extent of funding cuts at the National Science Foundation.

This "broken pie chart" is neat & new to me: Powerfully shows the slowdown in new NSF awards across areas.

academic folks: Harvard international students may need to begin immediately transferring out in order to avoid having to leave the country

If it sounds insane, that's because it is

what will your institutions do to help?

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨
NYU is withholding Logan Rozos’s diploma for speaking out at commencement about the genocide in Palestine. Commencement is a space for moral clarity—not censorship.

Silencing students is NOT academic freedom - write to NYU now.

Saying that "autism is preventable" is essentially saying that autistic people should not be born.

It's a eugenicist claim.

It is wild to understand that my deep conflict on "Should I apply for PhDs only in Europe and eventually stay in Europe, or should I try the US as well" now is solved
