So interesting! Thanks for sharing. Iโ€™ve witnessed how professors have failed some students because their AI detection tool yielded a positive result. We need more understanding of generative AI and how AI functions

The Editorial Board of Public Administration is sad to hear of the passing of Professor Christopher Hood. I am thinking of the legacy of Professor Hood today and re-reading "A Public Management for All Seasons?". doi.org/10.1111/j.14...

If you are on the academic job market, please include your Google Scholar link & ORCID on your CV. And YES you need a google scholar page!

It's fine to include LinkedIn, if that's your jam. But the others are way more relevant for academic positions. #academicjobs #academicchatter
