March 2025 round-up
March was a good month. Sure, hay fever is annoying and it wasn’t fun to deal with a trapped nerve. But there were also many highlights such as running in nice weather, kicking off the SeNSS training series on GenAI in research with my AI literacy session, or joining a panel of AI experts, to discuss the … Continue reading March 2025 round-up
Helpful resources for generative AI newbies in academia
If you are an academic (including a PhD student) curious about the potential of generative AI (GenAI) in a university context, but not sure where to start, here are some helpful resources. About the technology Research shows that understanding GenAIs’ strengths and weaknesses is crucial to enable a critical approach to its use. So, my first set … Continue reading Helpful resources for generative AI newbies in academia

Why Women Must Engage with Generative AI (and How to Get Started)
Study after study after study shows that fewer women than men are using generative AI. Image source The reasons for this AI gender gap are numerous and, to be frank, are not new. Some of the causes mentioned in the emerging literature are: Lack of exposure to generative AI in the workplace: There is still a difference in … Continue reading Why Women Must Engage with Generative AI (and How to Get Started)
Outline for my AI literacy training session, for early career researchers
The development of AI skills (and generative AI, as part of that) is likely to have a major impact in the employability and professional success of early career graduates, both directly (i.e., in the form of demonstrated ability to use these tools) and indirectly (e.g., through impact on productivity). As such, I am developing an … Continue reading Outline for my AI literacy training session, for early career researchers
How can we get Gen AI users to not fall asleep at the wheel?
Last month, I attended a training session, at Sussex, about Generative AI and assessment. We had to create a custom GPT for our modules and, then, use it to complete an assessment task for that module, using various levels and types of prompts. Afterwards, we marked the outputs and reflected on how “automatable” the different … Continue reading How can we get Gen AI users to not fall asleep at the wheel?
