Anyone know why search operators on google scholar no longer work properly? e.g. intitle:"skills planning" no longer only includes results with the exact phrase in the title. Driving me mental.
I have updated the personal page on my blog, "Literacy of the Present". It has links to some of my writing (including first chapters of my novella) and a resume with a list of publications.
If anyone is interested in my writing or my "alchemy" then do get in touch.

Great article about the kinds of mental load involved, for women, in domestic labour.
Sadly, this is old news.
Twenty years ago I completed a PhD thesis that unpacked & examined these aspects of domestic life.
By interviewing parents & kids separately, asking the same open ended questions - ‘what gets done, who does what, is it fair, & how do you think it should be?’, which I ran through 3 times, first for domestic tasks, then for the work of identifying what needs to be done & making sure it happens, then for noticing how everyone is feeling & keeping every happy in the process - then taking the family as my unit of analysis, I showed that men & kids were unaware of much of the physical & almost all of the intangible work women did in their homes. Boys & men thought everything was fine. Girls did not want to assume, as adults, the domestic servant role they saw their mothers placed in but had no strategies to achieve this beyond ‘I’ll just tell them’.
There was a hierarchy of work in these families in which men’s work & leisure time had highest priority, then kids’ schooling & leisure, then domestic work of all kinds. Womens paid work & leisure was lowest priority of all.
The families that lived without conflict were those in which the hierarchy of work was not disputed. Where women sought to disrupt the hierarchy there was conflict - which became another part of the domestic load she was expected to manage.
My findings showed that contrary to popular narratives of ‘progress’, this dynamic was not likely to change until men as well as women recognise the dynamic & choose to shift it.
This argument was not popular.
Twenty years later, here we are.
I wish I had been wrong.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Podcast - February 28, 2026
"How did we go from digital computers to AI seemingly everywhere? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, & Gary O’Reilly dive into the mechanics of thinking, how AI got its start, and what deep learning really means with cognitive and computer scientist, Nobel Laureate, and one of the architects of AI, Geoffrey Hinton.
"Hinton explains the fundamental shift from logic-based rule programming to the biological approach: building systems that learn the way a brain does. Learn about the history of computer science that led to the breakthroughs we have today. We break down the structure of artificial neural networks and the meaning of AI buzzwords like “deep learning” really mean. You’ll learn about the layering of data processing and how the first layer of neurons might detect a simple edge, the second a beak, and the third a bird’s head."
Apologies for going overboard with the mentions and hashtags, but this was one deep podcast and there were a lot of topics covered that are relevant to AI:

Our partner DROG Group built a tool we think is pretty cool.
TactCheck is basically a fake social media platform running on Mastodon. Researchers can use it to study how disinformation actually spreads without having to deal with real platforms. You can load scenarios, replay real Twitter/X data, spin up AI bots, even simulate a Facebook-like environment.
Worth a look if you work in research, policy, or media literacy: tactcheck.com
Hello — I’m Joy, a health & medical writer doing research communications.
I work with researchers and health organizations to turn complex research into clear, responsible communication — research summaries, patient-friendly materials, outreach content.
I’m especially interested in:
• #neuroscience
• #brain #research
• ethical #science communication
I’d love to hear about what you’re working on.

In order to open more the R project, I thought the next idea, which imply some homeworks for R package developers and R users doing research (to be published).
(A) For the researchers, they, always that possible, should 1) cite the main used R libraries for their research on their papers; and 2) make the R codes used for the (statistical) analyses computed for their research (papers) [and the tables and figures published] available (as Supplementary materials, as some VCS URL such as GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg... or by means of some repostory such as Zenodo, OSF..., or as persona websites...).
(B) And then, for package developers, it would be great that they have an updated vignette with examples of applications of their packages to research, at least for the most relevant applications (research done by relevant authors, in relevant journals, etc.)
Of course, (B) would use (A).

🧠🎮 DYK that having to pee might make you a more elite gamer?
Researchers found that the need to "hold it in" spills over into other parts of the #brain, leading to more patient, less impulsive decisions suitable for tough boss battles.
