Exciting seasonal work from teams at #NortheasternUniversity and #HarvardUniversity: cold decreases an EV-based immune response in the nose.

So, that's why they call it a cold…

Let’s keep our noses warm! 🔥

Hello, Mastodon herd! I'm Dr. Edward Mooney, and my interests include Educational Psychology and Trauma Psychology. I was a high school teacher for decades before turning to being a college professor. I have journal articles and books on school shootings and their effect on teachers. #NortheasternUniversity #EducationalPsychology #teaching #schoolshooting

Who am I? Why am I here?
I'm a prof at #NortheasternUniversity, with a joint appointment in #philosophy and in #CS

I'm part of a multi-disciplinary team (https://cssh.northeastern.edu/ethics/ai-data-ethics-initiative/) focused on researching and teaching the #ethics of #EmergingTech, especially #SocialRobots, #DataEthics, and the highly misleadingly named #AIEthics, to humanists, STEM students, and external groups.

I'm also an avid #bicyclist and participant in local groups dedicated to bicycle advocacy and #completestreets.

Next was a similarly great talk by Rob Reich at the Institute for Experiential #AI at #NortheasternUniversity on the need for a code of conduct for #algorithm #developers. This talk is spot on on the need for professional #ethics with teeth in #tech, and while there's some irony with discussing "foundation" models and elevating certain less than reputable players in the tech space, I still highly recommend the talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv9AX-rW9rI (7/8)

A must-read to understand the state of labor at #NortheasternUniversity right now. Surveillance in the form of under-desk sensors is being used in #ISEC- installed overnight, without the consent of the graduate students who bring in money to Northeastern in the form of grants. https://twitter.com/maxvonhippel/status/1578048652215431168
