In some large-scale research communities, data roles remain heavily male. In instrument-adjacent data science, just 1 woman in 9, well below the 20–30 % average in data science. What can be done to improve representation and inclusion? #AcademiSky #WomenInScience #WiDS #WomenInDataScience #RSE

One thing that surprised me writing this piece: how inadequate our vocabulary is for what's happening. We keep reaching for terms like "authoritarian" or "corrupt" but they don't quite fit. #academisky #democracy

Q. for #EduSky #AcademiSky #BlueSkyAcademic:

Why do reviewers ask I interview people as 'proof'?
Are the timelines to AGI ridiculous? And is AI 2027 a load of rubbish? @hlntnr.bsky.social gives her opinion #academisky #podcast #artificialintelligence #AGI

Are we past exponential AI, or just in a slowdown? #academisky #ai

Sometimes revising writing feels like untangling a knotted necklace chain. Requires looking very closely, trying to figure out the knot, using tools to help untangle, and taking periodic breaks to reduce neck and eye strain. Also, sometimes muttering, "WTF is going on here?? #academisky
