The hardest part about writing my thesis is sitting down at my desk and starting each day. Any tips for how to overcome the ADHD task paralysis? I enjoy writing but since I know it’s important and I need to do it I feel incapable of starting.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

I’m so tired of seeing scientists in fish and wildlife fields who use AI because no use of it is worth the negative impacts to the environment

Calling all bird people! This specimen was missing a tag and I need your help to identify it! Its from a private collection that was recently donated. A lot of the other specimens are from Eurasia but it could be from anywhere.

Why do I feel like I’m fighting a drunk raccoon every time I try to wrap presents? I’m a scientist and artist. Aren’t we supposed to have fine motor control? Shouldn’t this be a task I am capable of?

Once I start writing, I can be pretty productive (hyper-focus mode) but forcing myself to start each day is what I struggle with
