Today I had the best time visiting Spelman College as a part of US NSF SBE outreach. I got to hear about the incredible research experiences that Spelman faculty are providing to their undergrads, culminating with some great poster presentations by talented undergrad research. Beautiful day in ATL!

Know who doesn’t give away its content for AI training? @glossapsycholx.bsky.social! Academics need to fight corporate publishers for many reasons: exorbitant publishing charges, exploitation of our labor for massive profits, and now this. There IS another way: scholar-run journals!
