If you are a prof, please include something on your website about whether you'd like to be emailed by prospective students & whether you're recruiting this cycle. Emailing norms differ across disciplines and countries, and applicants may ignore website info, but some clarity on your end is helpful.

This has importance way outside CS/ML. If you ask why DOGE employees believe it’s smart to gut NSF and NIH, I’m afraid the answer is that they’ve bought a story where technical progress can proceed mostly decoupled from scientific knowledge.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

As someone who writes behind a paywall, let me tell you that there is no legal entitlement to my New Scientist articles but actually there is a legal entitlement to records of federal officials acting on behalf of the American people hopefully that clears up the difference for you guys

In other news, algorithm-propagated sexism and colorism is still alive and well. (Looked up an 8-year-old old "bias" example; it's still basically the same.)

Finally got around to making some art for Wind and Truth, Book 5 of The Stormlight Archives! I'll spoiler this JUST in case you didn't read it yet. It's been a few months. Get to it! #cosmere #stormlightarchive #szethsonsonvallano

Depicts a battle between Szeth and 6 grey cloaked figures wielding shardblades. The grey figures attacking Szeth are shrouded in purple-black smoke. The figure in the foreground holds a glowing orb of stormlight. Szeth floats at top center, dressed in a white uniform holding Nightblood aloft which drips black ichor. Two figures aside Szeth are dissipating into smoke. Behind Szeth is a jagged rocky spire mountain and a sky alight with steaks of blues and purples.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
