Genuin oro i branschen för att samhället, som i dag bekostar utbildning plus privat vinst, skulle börja använda hela summan till utbildning.

The demographic which voted the least for the AfD was socialized entirely in the GDR, the highest share at 53% (35-44) were children or infants when the wall came down and 42% of those born in the 21st century voted for them.

From journal editing experience, LLMs appear to be *undoing* the good research of non-English speaking scholars. You can see signs of a solid study in a manuscript that chat or claude et al - used for "editing only" - have otherwise *wrecked*. I keep suggesting they try again without AI "editing."

As a scholar from the Global South, Raul was frequently frustrated by how often his work would not be cited, despite having very clearly influenced the scholarship of others. This is a very common problem.

The one thing I encourage all scholars to do in his memory, is to read and engage with scholars from the Global South and engage with their findings and their thinking in your own work. Cite them!

Cite them because they have influenced your thinking and your research. Cite them even when you are told that it is more important to cite “more influential” people.

Teach their work, too. Make sure future generations know that important work is being done by scholars in the Global South.

You cannot do either of those things if you do not read their work. Seek it out. Read journals that are published in other countries (and other languages). Follow them on social media. Go to their talks at conferences.

Allow yourself to learn from them.
