Writing For Research

Creative research writing is hard. Patrick Dunleavy, political science LSE, & Editor in Chief @LSEPress suggests advice

In the first eleven months of 2025, 10,109 doctoral-trained scientists left the federal government. The losses were concentrated in agencies that fund medical research, regulate environmental standards and model climate. https://t.co/nSmJOdUu63?

Great opening chapter for Meena Kotecha's new book on "Mathematics Anxiety in University Non-Specialists" from Cambridge UP, free to read here

It gives a real feel for the paywalled book itself which is very much a library buy https://t.co/lfUmNEchJ0

[John Reeks @wartsandbrawls]

It’s a massive false economy to pay for people to go to university for 3 years to learn a narrow set of “employability skills” that will probably be redundant by the time they graduate. We’ve been organising higher education on these lines and it’s now collapsing in real time.

[Patrick Dunleavy @PJDunleavy]

If universities are integral to industrial strategy, should government more closely scrutinise mergers?

A warning from the president of MIT:

“the nation’s research enterprise is shrinking. Scientific funding is drying up. And the funds Congress recently allocated for science are not actually flowing”

“At public and private universities across the country, high-impact science is being damaged and derailed. Speaking for my own institution, compared to this time last year, MIT has experienced a decline in campus research activity funded by federal awards of more than 20%.”

[Pew Research Center @pewresearch]

The recent removal of FiveThirtyEight's archive is a reminder of how fleeting digital content can be. Our research found 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 were no longer accessible a decade later.

MIT announces “the number of grad students will be 20 percent less than it was in 2024 — about 500 fewer students”

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

“Professors teaching AI-exposed classes gave out about 30% more A’s and fewer A-minus and B-plus grades.”

AI keeps exposing and exacerbating already existing issues in higher education.
