It's notable that humanities and social sciences once again make up 50% of ERC starting awards in Ireland (a notably higher proportion than in other countries) despite the weak financial support for research in these disciplines nationally. We should fund what we're good at!

Not to be obnoxious and do the "as a historian" thing but I never honestly thought that my research/teaching on the histories of eugenics would ever be as acutely relevant in understanding the present, and goddess knows, I wish it wasn't the case

And this is exactly what is so insidious about eugenics: these ideas have persisted and are encouraged, but too often we balk at calling eugenicist ideas and people exactly what they are. Not to mention too many people don’t know what positive eugenics is, or that eugenics is not just Nazis.

We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.
