There is an important and necessary conversation happening right now about the use of generative artificial intelligence in global health and humanitarian communications. Researchers like Arsenii Alenichev are correctly identifying a new wave of “poverty porn 2.0,” where artificial intelligence is used to generate stereotypical, racialized images of suffering—the very tropes many of us have worked for decades to banish. The alarms are valid.

I might be exaggerating slightly, but if you look at the few new evaluation matrices for AI-powered search circulating, “relevancy” is often just one of several categories, evaluated in a highly subjective and “I-know-it-when-I-see-it” manner. This is baffling, given that a search engine (AI-powered or not) lives and dies on its ability to retrieve relevant results.

The 2025 State of AI Report has arrived, painting a picture of an industry being fundamentally reshaped by “The Squeeze.” This is a critical, intensifying constraint on three key resources: the massive-scale compute (processing power) required for training, the availability of high-quality data, and the specialized human talent to build frontier models. This squeeze, the report details, is accelerating a consolidation of power.

Moving from Google Docs to Word will break your Zotero citations/bibliography linkages unless you do this first.

International research mobility is widely seen as a strategic tool to strengthen national research capacity and global competitiveness. Programmes like the Fulbright Program (US), the Sandwich Doctorate Programme (Brazil), Erasmus Programmes (EU), and China Scholarship Council (China) illustrate this global commitment.

The strength of a chemical bond can be defined as the change in enthalpy when a bond is homolytically broken into two radicals. Bond dissociation energy is thus the measure of the strength of a bond and, while it is temperature dependent, it can be calculated by DFT or ab initio methods.

Cet article est l’opportunité de partager la présentation réalisée lors du congrès de l’Association des Chercheurs en Activités Physiques et Sportives à Poitiers. Après une brève présentation de l’état des lieux sur les enjeux climatiques en France, j’y aborde l’état des connaissances au sujet de l’activité physique, du sport et du changement climatique.

By Matt Boyd, Michael Baker, Amanda Kvalsvig & Nick Wilson (cross-posted from the PHCC Blog) Summary/TLDR The strategic divide in pandemic response Five years into the Covid-19 pandemic, with an estimated 27.3 million excess deaths globally,1 we now can look back and try to understand which control strategies worked best.
