Word of the Day is ‘swullocking’: swelteringly, stiflingly hot.

From 19th-century East Anglian dialect.

@prempanicker @Makarand_S I’ve tried in vain to sell people on the commonplace book. A small joy (and I love pretty paper!).

[Shefaly Yogendra, PhD @shefaly]

@joybhattacharj 1.40am in India is 9.10pm in London. I assure you nobody is driving in London let alone on an empty road at that time. That was sufficient to call BS on it 😃

@samzliu @Houda_nait It takes so much out to do a PhD that doing it for the love of it is the main way to glide through the solitary pursuit.
Drawing boundaries itself takes rationality in design. Else it’s just neat packaging of preferences which may not be entirely rational, non?

[Shefaly Yogendra, PhD @shefaly]

@samzliu @Houda_nait My hot take from an actual (multidisciplinary) PhD in decision making is that people aren’t rational but rationalisers. Please definitely do your would-be PhD, likely to be located in psychology to unpack your ingoing idea.

[Shefaly Yogendra, PhD @shefaly]

@prempanicker Thank you.

@moorehn Quite. The ones, who are ready though, shine and make the podcast guest shine too! Living and learning, me ☺️

[Shefaly Yogendra, PhD @shefaly]

@moorehn I’ve been doing a lot of podcasts (new book etc) and it’s always disappointing when there’s no prep or brief to the guest.
It always shows in the final product.

@lemire People who write and do so correctly (grammatically speaking) know punctuation. These tools trained on our writing. Nobody who writes will call out your em dashes.
That it’s being “discovered” by many in the Anglophone world is the terrifying part. That’s the real AI tell ime.

I introduce "Uncharted Spaces: Reset the agenda. Reimagine the boardroom" the first book written by my friend @shefaly

If you are already on a board or aspiring to be on one, this book is for you.

@socmedrab @mrajshekhar I like @Rukmini’s work because @mrajshekhar unearths and she analyses the data available and with your kind of storytelling Rahul, you all are so precious to me for reading the otherwise cacophonous media landscape in India.

@mrajshekhar @socmedrab @JuneGoh_Sparta @Rory_Johnston And this.

[Paperboy @frontpagestoday]

@TedAlcorn @nytimes Love this. We're doing a similar thing using a variety of sources to track the coverage arc of major issues over a decade or more: https://t.co/OdAZEupFgC

[Shefaly Yogendra, PhD @shefaly]

@mrajshekhar @socmedrab @JuneGoh_Sparta @Rory_Johnston What @mrajshekhar said. Also see (which I’m keen to see or do a U.K. version of for various papers of record).

[Ted Alcorn @TedAlcorn]

I built a dashboard to explore the last 25+ years of @nytimes coverage. 1.5B words, 2.2M articles, 26K reporters. It's fascinating to look at the world’s preeminent news organization not as daily stories but as patterns of attention, ebbing and flowing. https://t.co/CoE22qsBtb

@AndrewOrlowski @RAEng_Hub Which then means the successful founders don’t create wealth spiral. Notable exceptions: @demishassabis and @brenthoberman.

I also agree with you on too much of the commentariat not being very science savvy. The epistemic crisis is quite real. 2/2

[Shefaly Yogendra, PhD @shefaly]

@AndrewOrlowski I agree with your read on our deep tech capability and inventiveness. The one point that holds from the tweet you’re commenting on: capital crunch. Eg @RAEng_Hub enables many but then many go abroad for growth $$$. We don’t retain the wealth created. 1/2
