Y'all better hire @jordant.bsky.social for postdocs and @willie-agnew.bsky.social & @dippedrusk.com for professorships. They are some of the brilliant minds who worked on these papers and they will be an asset everywhere.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameโ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Glitter: A Multi-Sentence, Multi-Reference Benchmark for Gender-Fair German Machine Translation A Pranav, Janiรงa Hackenbuchner, Giuseppe Attanasio, Manuel Lardelli, Anne Lauscher. Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EMNLP 2025. 2025.

Impressive work by the Glitter team: a new human-made benchmark for German gender-inclusive MT with long passages and multiple inclusive approaches + experiments showing that MT systems and LLMs still fall short in generating inclusive outputs.

We're investigating how publishers handle name changes and the barriers scholars face. If you've changed your name (or are considering it) and dealt with updating your academic publications, we want to hear from you.

Researchers who have changed their name for any reason, such as gender transition, marriage, divorce, immigration, cultural reasons, or citation formatting issues. Whether you've successfully updated your work, are currently trying, or decided not to because of barriers, your opinion matters.

Your input will help us advocate for better, more inclusive policies in academic publishing. It takes around 5-10 minutes to complete.

I'm on the job market looking for CS/ischool faculty and related positions! I'm broadly interested in doing research with policymakers and communities impacted by AI to inform and develop mitigations to harms and risks. If you've included any of my work in syllabi or policy docs please let me know!

Social media impact measurement is something I am planning to do empirically: like measuring follower counts vs review scores; follower counts vs cites etc.

This is a good point, yeah. We discussed this when we were designing the survey and arrived at this sentiment as we want to understand how different communities approach towards social media.
