A recent blog post from @aidybarnett on his decision to halve his research output (for the greater good of all):

"Critical #AI Literacies for Resisting and Reclaiming"

22 June 2026 #Nijmegen

📍Statement from the #organizers

"We are a group of #scholars committed to diversity, critical thinking, decoloniality, respect of expertise, slow science, and conceptual clarity values in academia. We strongly encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply."

A movement perfectly aligned with current times: the need for a slower science. A system that enables equal opportunity irrespective of gender, ethnicity, wealth, identity, etc. Slow science that does not burn its workers, respecting different career choices and abilities. More time for reflecting and planning, and for research at a pace that enables quality, not competitive quantity. A science requiring fewer resources, respecting the environment, and focusing on the real societal needs, not in economic gain for the few or hollow "innovation".

Est-ce qu’il y a encore du sens à organiser de grandes conférences scientifiques internationales ?

📖 Au cours d'une résidence d'écriture avec des collègues de #STS il y a deux ans, nous avons écrit un texte collectif pour imaginer d'autres formes d'échanges scientifiques, en mode #SlowScience.

Il vient de paraître dans le Journal of Environmental Media 👉 https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/jem_00153_1

On generative AI and reproducibility

Some thoughts on generative AI, reproducibility, and why the praxis of slow and reproducible science provides a useful lesson for navigating the lures of “AI”.

Colleagues in #research, who has actually been dreaming of a "massive acceleration of scientific research"?

Research and its quality highly depend on humans, their subjectivity, and the time spent on that research. Automating research (incl. the writing) goes against producing high quality, ethical & independent research.

To do research more quickly (i.e. do more research), hire more researchers.
