In case anyone needs it, to have the ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century) means to have a fit of despondency or low spirits, such as the end-of-summer blues.

SAVE THE DATE - the 2nd Aural Diversity Conference will be held at the University of Salford, Media City Campus on Thursday 3 September 2026. See attached flyer for details - call for papers coming soon. #auraldiversity #hearing #listening #diversity #academicconference #academicsky #phdsky
The image is a poster for the Aural Diversity Conference - at the top, logs of the University of Salford, the Leverhulme Trust, and the auraldiversity network. 
The text reads as follows:
AURAL DIVERSITY CONFERENCE
The concept of aural diversity upholds that hearing differences do not occur along a binary spectrum from "normal" to "impaired" but instead are a broad spectrum of listening and hearing types.

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

We often hear from reviewers: "what about demand effects?" So we developed a method to eliminate them. Something weird happened during testing: We couldn’t detect demand effects in the first place! (1/8)
Summary of design and results from our three studies. (A: Design) Each study used a similar experimental design, measuring both positive and negative demand in an online experiment, with three commonly-used task types (dictator game, vignette, intervention). Our experiments had ns ≈ 250 per cell. (B: Results) Observed demand effects were statistically indistinguishable from zero. The plot shows means and 95% confidence intervals for standardized mean differences derived from frequentist analyses of each experiment and an inverse variance-weighted fixed-effect estimator pooling all experiments (solid bars). Prior measurements of experimenter demand from a previous dictator game experiment (de Quidt et al., 2018; standardized mean difference from regression coefficient) and a meta-analysis primarily including small-sample, in-person studies (Coles et al., 2025; Hedge’s g statistic) are also shown for comparison (striped bars). The main text includes Bayesian analyses that quantify our uncertainty.
