Llevo ya un año usando #Typst y me parece un lenguaje excelente y mucho más cómodo de usar que LaTeX (con el cariño tortuoso que le tenemos a LaTeX). Ahora migré mi CV a Typst, pero además automaticé su generación en la nube usando GitHub Actions. www.juanrloaiza.com/es/blog/2026...

I wrote a little something on the value of philosophy for animal cognition. Out now in Science’s Expert Voices column.

Science is based on assumptions. Philosophy can make sure they’re the right ones.
When I was a postdoctoral researcher, I spent several years teaching at an interdisciplinary research institute in Vienna, Austria. There, my main course sought to train master’s students—mostly biolo...

btw can't recommend highly enough this way of walking through the syllabus on the first day of class
Screenshot of a slide with the title "Syllabus: Distributed reading" and the following text: 
- 10 tables = 10 teams
- 5* sections → Each team gets 1 section → Each section has 2 teams


- 10 minutes to prepare a 3-minute summary of your section
- Find your slide: tinyurl.com/2yjgs6jz
- 1-2 key points about your section
- 1-2 questions about your section


- For each section, I’ll randomly choose a team to share their summary
- And then the other team can add whatever points or questions they’d like

Today I learned how to define my own local namespaces and packages for Typst. Now I have all my templates organized as packages in my personal namespace, and I can keep proper track of them using git. Yet another reason to recommend Typst! Thanks to @typst.app for making life easier.

There are 270 black professors in the UK. Out of 26.000. About 1%. But somehow journalists who clearly have no idea of how academic hiring works manage to create an illusion of "wokeness" having taken over hiring decisions at universities. www.hesa.ac.uk/news/19-02-2...

Fantastic starting keynote by @cvscheve.bsky.social at #ISRE2026! Emotions are essential to political conflict. They are part of what we are negotiating when we enter conflict, it's not just reasons and ideas but how we (should) feel about things.

To me, this is the central paradox of LLM use: you need to be a subject expert in order to judge whether what it produces is any good. But if you’re already a subject expert, you have no need for the LLM, since you already know, or are capable of figuring out, the correct output.
