So excited to see this come together, I loved writing my chapter on exploring academic failure and incorporating all the stuff I wish I'd known when I started my PhD 😊🌈

At this point LLMs-in-the-classroom apologists should be embarrassed. Students aren't just using this stuff as a "problem solving tool" or whatever BS people spout, they're using it to forget how to talk. Impossible to be pessimistic enough about it tbh.

I'm so excited to be speaking at this event! Whose Rainbow is such a timely project, when the relationship between educational institutions and LGBT+ communities is getting increasingly complex 🌈📚
