BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Hey Abhi! I'm tempted to start one of these starter pack things but want to make sure there's interest. I also know there were several people on the other platform but haven't seen anyone here. I have seen a clinical neuropsych starter pack and community though.

Professors love to reminisce about how things used to be harder. I've heard things like, "I remember when I had to go to the physical library for every reference in my dissertation." Now I realize I'll be the professor saying, "I had to write my dissertation without AI assistance." 😭🤣 #AcademicSky

As someone with dyslexia, I regularly used it before they added the new features. At a previous university, they did not have great alternatives at the time. Maybe that has changed but I doubt it.

Is Grammarly AI? Notre Dame says yes The rapid introduction of generative AI has created a wild west of policies at colleges, complicating the use of long-standing editing and writing tools.

One big discussion missing from this article is how banning Grammarly can impact students with disabilities. What alternatives are being recommended for proofing, checking spelling, and addressing similar needs?
