Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

How political leanings affect views on academic freedom – new research Right-leaning respondents were consistently more supportive of academic freedom.

Most people support academic freedom (in principle).

But once we move beyond principles, politics kicks in.

Our new research is featured in this piece in The Conversation.

Tell me why; I ask because unis are increasingly reluctant to see money spend on commercial software; I learned R and made the permanent switch because Glasgow made a pain to download. This was before AI. Now, can't you just take Stata code and tell AI to just give you R code and learn that way?
