New paper: Since the rise of large language models, there's been a huge shift in academic writing. In 2024, the word "delves" appeared 2,700% more than its historical average, by one account. The analysis suggests that 13.5% of 2024 abstracts were processed with LLMs.

andrea gibson’s poetry is one of the few things that kept me together when everything felt meaningless. the world lost a beautiful spirit today and everyone should take the time to read their poetry if they haven’t already

This is just a PSA: I am ChatGPT-averse, but I figured I would try using it to help with citations (with lots of scaffolding). Just so ya know, it can’t even be trusted with “provide me the APA citation for {article title/link}.” Always review anything it produces!

The academe has for a long time had a severely neglected social class problem. "Children from low-SES homes were already severely underrepresented [in the academe]." "Scientists from high-SES families have 38% higher odds of becoming stars." nber.org/papers/w33063

Okay, I think it's important we push back on this regular talking point and show why the "funds should follow students, not schools" line sounds reasonable to those uninformed on education policy, but is actually fundamentally flawed (1/16)

I hate re-reviewing an R&R but I know full well that it’s my responsibility. I recommended changes, I ought to see whether the authors have done the changes I suggested. Otherwise editors have to struggle to find a new reviewer who wasn’t involved in the process earlier.
