EdTech is where higher education institutes, government bodies & tech corps are pushing AI so hard yet with no evidence of the benefits (plenty of evidence against it). this report is another evidence that should caution all pushing AI into education to just STOP and evaluate the evidence

Disability Pride handler for meg personlig om å kjempe for å få være hverdagsmenneske. Gå på konsert eller fotballkamp uten å bli henvist til en plass med dårligere sikt enn ikke-funkiser. Få danse på samme scene som ikke-funkiser. Få ta fly uten å risikere å bli kasta av fordi jeg reiser alene. 1/?

I saw Civil war yesterday. It all what we already know about US; guns, big cars, killing. For me the real dystopia in the film (not sure it was intented) was the breakdown of society; how the press joined and accepted protection from armed forces performing war crimes. www.imdb.com/title/tt1727...

#Shark #brains are very different to our own. They have the ability to make new #neurons throughout their lives! (As far as we know right now.)

They do this via #neurogenesis. Neurogenesis is the process by which progenitor cells generate new neurons.

Incredible!

This is very concerning as a more virulent and deadly strain of mpox has emerged in DRC- a country that lacks smallpox vaccines. This is yet another example of how zoonotic viruses infect us and mutate all of which is made more likely due to habitat loss.🧪🌍
