Sometimes we worry about the mental health of friends and loved ones, but we don’t want to tell them we’re worried.
Thanks to Murphys Sketches for the beautiful illustration showing there are lots of ways to begin that conversation. And what better time to start than today, #TimeToTalkDay

"Humanity needs to bring all knowledge to bear so that applications of AI research are robust and its risks are mitigated as much as possible. Governments, companies, research funders and researchers need to recognize their complementary strengths." - Nature editorial www.nature.com/articles/d41...
More-powerful AI is coming. Academia and industry must oversee it — together
AI companies want to give machines human-level intelligence, or AGI. The safest and best results will come when academic and industry scientists collaborate to guide its development.

Shocking (but not shocking) stats on the state of adult edu opportunity and funding #ukfe
Shocking (but not shocking) stats on the state of adult edu opportunity and funding #ukfe
What is common knowledge in my field, but shocks outsiders?
Even with recent funding for "bootcamps" & the "multiply" scheme, adult education funding is 40% less in real terms than it was 15 years ago (IFS) and actual spending in 2024-5 likely to be a bit less because DFE rarely spends full budget.
