Genau jetzt ist die Zeit für Hochschulen, Schulen, Journalismus, Marketing, Kommunikation, GPT-3 ernst zu nehmen. Ich fange mal mit Hochschulen an, da von Job her Hochschulpräsident ;D 1. #GPT-3 macht viele Prüfungsformen ab heute undenkbar, da maschinelles Lernen mit GPT-3 Texte erzeugt, die qualitativ in den Sozialwissenschaften nicht unterscheidbar sind von der Arbeit von Studierenden. Gerade für euch getestet - unsere Profs erkennen den Unterschied nicht.

On Thursday, Angela Merkel @RegSprecher will be at @leopoldina - the 🇩🇪 National Academy of Sciences - and speak about the importance of the role of science at the inauguration of climatologist Gerald Haug. I'll be attending for @GlobalYAcademy & see our friends @Junge_Akademie Good stuff friends, there's a video at bundeskanzlerin.de/bkin-de that starts with "Not everyone knows Leopoldina".
The cool thing is that just last year, we @GlobalYAcademy brought hundreds of global young scientists to Halle for several days & since we've moved our offices there..

In the past months, we at @GlobalYAcademy have started to improve the visibility of young global scientists. I'll starting sharing more about what I learned through this about #digitization #academies #wikipedia and the visibility of researchers. Here's a picture of NYAs
#gyawiki NYAs are national young academies. There are around 50 of them, some have a long and prominent history, some have just started *this week*.

Have a look globalyoungacademy.net/national-young…

As I'm currently co-organizing a large conference again, here are some things academic conferences can do to become more family-friendly. cc @GlobalYAcademy #academicswithchildren #academicmom #academicdad #ecrchat #andascientist

A checklist for the ideal conference: (1/11) Onsite (subsized or *free*) childcare is the golden ticket of conference family-friendliness. Unfortunately, it is often quite difficult to find funding for this. But if you have it, this will allow parents to really make the most of their attendance. (2/11)

Benefits of having three kids #1:
Absolutely noone (family & others) gives unprompted parenting advice anymore (probably because they gave up). Benefits of having three kids #2:
Being able to say (in theory) things like: “well, *some* of my kids play Golf”
