Smart Speakers At Home - Jessica Taylor Piotrowski, Ph.D. New research on how Dutch families use smart speakersโ€”and what drives that use Owning a smart speaker is one thingโ€”but how are these devices used once the novelty wears off? New research, published in...

Not all families use smart speakers the same way.

In our new study, we identified 6 use-typesโ€”and found that parentsโ€™ trust in tech and how AI is framed in the news are associated with how these devices are used at home.

Trump administration orders US embassies to stop student visa interviews Directive could severely delay visa processing and hurt universities that rely on foreign students for revenue

Iโ€™m absolutely disgusted. And yes, I will post this on social media and the Trump admin is welcome to stop me at the border. Iโ€™m happy to explain why xenophobia is disgusting.

Can Germany rein in its academic bullying problem? Researchers and administrators are exploring ways to restructure a rigid hierarchy that can breed power abuses.

It is the responsibility of senior career scholars to mentor early career scholars. Power abuse is dishonorable and must be stopped.

Widespread layoffs. Hiring freezes. The attack on science is blistering. The number of my friends that have lost their jobs is creeping up daily.

Very curious which countries here in Europe (and beyond) will step up and start offering talent hires.

Trump said he was glad the world saw this, his interaction with Zelensky.

That is true. It is good that the world saw how Trump and Vance bullied the leader of a country that was attacked and that the US now openly sides with Russia.

That is indeed important for the world to see.
