Shout-out to @HPreston_ for giving me the opportunity and to my comrade, the lovely Dr. Juliane Scheffel.

@lkoairport Please do better than having such random unnecessary rules that prevent passengers who may be tired or unwell to rest for a while.

[Dr. Arpita Bhattacharjee @_ArpitaB]

@lkoairport I had laid down for a bit on a two seater couch in T3 (post-security check area, around shops). A CCSIA personnel told me that we are not allowed to do that. This is despite it being sparse right now and not a lot of passengers around using the seating.

It is high time to recognize that the AI boom – or the AI hype – will also have enormous costs in terms of fossil fuel emissions.

@cosmiconomist @sanugaur @shivani2408 Cannot make doggo angry like this 😂😂😂😂

People need to get more comfortable sitting with the realization that they’re not “smarter” than poor kids from the hood, they just grew up in a zip code and to parents where resources like having tutors was more possible.

Here is some hope at a time of division. This conversation with Jewish and Arab students at @UWMadison left me inspired. We need to have nuanced and honest conversations like this in every community and college across the country.

Super thrilled to announce that "Did #Austerity cause #brexit?" has just been accepted for publication at the @AEAjournals in the American Economic Review. Short thread on whole paper available here https://t.co/FxYwKmz3Ik...

Almost all land use is for farming.

Everything else is a rounding error.

The most impactful thing we can do to restore ecosystems is improve yields and use less land.

Every once in a while, the actual rules of the liberal international order become terrifyingly clear. This shocks people of good conscience in the First World, while billions of others, who do not have the luxury of this ignorance, see awful confirmation of what they already know

@cosmiconomist And we must love all animals equally, some more equally than others.

Gratifying to see the acknowledgments pages written by academics getting angrier these days …

SUMMARY:

- IQ tests are NOT objective measures of intelligence.

- The mathematical assumptions of IQ test construction can make IQ seem a lot more natural and biological than it really is.

- There are many points in IQ test design where subjectivity can seep into the process.

I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.

The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.

@SteveBarclay @RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.

To get them to listen, pls retweet
