As someone who was born in Turkey, the true measure for me is the number of fruit trees in your garden which must include at least one walnut and one white mulberry.

Reminds me of this quote from @paul3548.bsky.social "... instead of being astonished at how powerful they are, it’s possible that we should be surprised that the generation of language that is meaningful to us turns out to be something that can be accomplished without real comprehension."

I doubt that the Portsmouth’s vice-chancellor used the term 'elite' as implied by the article.

Fabulous post by @randomwalker.bsky.social & Sayash raising the same concern many of us have about whether we're on the right track with how we're using AI for science. Everyone should read it, take a deep breath & think through the implications. www.aisnakeoil.com/p/could-ai-s...

Quite a few parallels here with the sovereign citizen movement across the pond. When do we start whipping up our own distinctly British conspiracy theories - no imports needed?

@official-uom.bsky.social is offering 3-year postdoc fellowships to mark its 200th anniversary. If you already have a strong idea on the links between urban form/housing quality and health, and need a mentor, I’m happy to chat. Particularly interested in innovative methods & novel evidence.

What should we do when access frictions between disabled people emerge with new active travel infrastructure like bus stop bypasses? Is removing them really the best solution? I propose collective access making instead. Available open access here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Bus stop bypass where the cycle track goes behind a bus stop between the bus stop and the pavement and there is a zebra crossing over the cycle lane.
