Great article on undergrads using generative AI for coursework. But what does this free up their time for? I see some students with start-ups; one here says college is “the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.” It also mentions TikTok. Is their data on this? (Student time use surveys?)

Does the US have a trade deficit with Canada? Yes — but only because of the massive amount of energy it buys to fuel its powerful economy of 340m people. Canada has about 42m. Here are the trade flows on a per-capita basis — and they tell a different story.

Great resource from LBL on electricity cost trends and drivers. It's the distribution costs, folks: eta-publications.lbl.gov/sites/defaul...

#Syria now faces a huge challenge: putting back together a country divided by 13 years of civil war and a half-century of brutal dictatorship. The rebels are themselves significantly divided. Here's the background you need on the key players in the transition: buff.ly/4g1TnYY #News

Assad leaves behind a fragmented nation – stabilizing it will be a major challenge for fractured opposition and external backers
Opposition forces marched into Damascus on Dec. 8, seemingly ending the half-century rule of the Assad family. But what happens next?
