Good news this week - I have just been invited to join the GPTZero ambassador programme and will be running a professional development session on ethical use of AI. Would you be interested in attending? P.S. GPTZero is one of the tools that we use to identify if text was created by AI or human - it's pretty advanced to the extent it can track which elements of the document were pasted and which were written.

As a part of our partnership with AnswerThis, I’ve recorded a short guide how I use this tool to understand specific area of research better. It’ll go live tomorrow, but I thought I’d give you early access - hope it helps! P.S. what do you think of using AI for research?

Next week I will be hosting Ryan from AnswerThis who will show you how you can best use this tool to ethically use AI in your research. I’ll be sharing more later this week as we’re still discussing the content. Will you be there?

Hi, my name is Neaz Mujeri and I am an AI and Sustainability researcher. I help leaders, educators, and organisations navigating AI transformation (Audience) develop AI literacy through an attitude-first, systems leadership approach (Theme). My work was sparked by observing that many well-designed digital initiatives fail not because of weak technology, but because mindset and culture are misaligned (Spark). Through the Attitude-First Learning (AFL) and Attitude-Driven AI Literacy (ADAIL) models, supported by my research, CRI publications, and applied leadership frameworks, I demonstrate how cultivating growth mindset and systems thinking enables responsible and sustainable AI integration (Proof Point).

Hi @Dawid Hanak and everyone in the community, I’m applying for an academic fellowship. I’d be grateful for feedback on my letter of application (kind of cover letter), especially from people outside my field (physics), since the panel is interdisciplinary. What the fellowship assesses in the letter (3 criteria): 1. Preparedness/track record relative to career stage. 2. Quality, significance, originality of the proposed research + alignment with the fellowship's bequest 3. Why Durham: how persuasive the case is that Durham’s environment (facilities/expertise/groups) is right for the project and aligns with department strategy. What the cover letter must include: - A brief outline of the research in simple, non-technical language (≤200 words). - A statement explaining how the research satisfies the Addison Wheeler bequest: ‘to encourage efforts for increased knowledge of people and their make-up so as to enable them to make better use of their life here on Earth’ - An explanation of why I’m a suitable candidate for the fellowship. What I’d love feedback on: - Is the ≤200-word non-technical project outline understandable to a non-specialist? - Does the letter make a convincing “why me” case quickly? - Does the “why Durham” paragraph sound specific and persuasive (not generic)? - Any sentences that feel unclear, too technical, or repetitive? Thank you.
