'We should be pretty worried': Even AI struggles to tell fake from real content
By Jacinta Bowler
Detectors that are used to uncover deepfake images have ‘major vulnerabilities’ when used on videos they weren’t trained on, and can't keep up with the volume of AI images being generated, a new study suggests.

Scientists alarmed as Antarctic sea ice again falls to near-record low
By Jano Gibson
Scientists have found it difficult to capture longer-term changes to Antarctic sea ice as satellite records date from 45 years ago, but a recent reconstruction winds the record back to 1899.

University of Exeter: Avalanche of papers could erode trust in science. “An explosion in the number of academic articles being published is unsustainable and erodes public trust in science, a landmark study warns. The number of academic articles published worldwide rose from about 1.9 million per year in 2016 to a stunning 2.8 million in 2022 – an increase of 47% – despite little change […]

The Broader Push to Rewrite #History.
Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:
#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :
For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.
The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:
Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.
Settler-Led Excavations:
Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.
Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:
Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.
The International Fallout:
Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage during conflicts.
These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.

My dear network,
As I’m about to finish my PhD, I’ll be looking for new employment starting in 2025!
I work as a UX/UI designer, with my focus primarily on creating interfaces for electronic music / multimedia arts, and more broadly, interactive devices.
Throughout my 10+ year career, I’ve collaborated with artists, foundations, and companies, contributing to a variety of creative and technical endeavors. I also have extensive experience writing funding applications, successfully securing resources for multiple projects both independently and as part of a team.
I specialize in both designing and constructing electronic devices, as well as developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) tailored to specific needs. With a strong background in digital fabrication, I operate my own fabrication lab and have previously served as a lab manager in FabLabs, overseeing a wide range of projects.
In recent years, after a decade of working as a designer, I have broadened my practice to include academic research.
My recent research efforts have primarily explored critical reflection and sustainable action within design practices. I have investigated open-source tools and methods to develop interfaces in the form of both tangible devices and GUIs. The aim of these explorations is to push the boundaries of current practices, finding innovative solutions that enhance the full potential of each design project while considering its long-term impact.
I engage in hands-on design projects and studies with people and communities
As my focus has shifted to academia in the past few years, and I would love to continue pursuing this path. However, I am open to any employment opportunity that can benefit from my skills and expertise.
I am currently based in Parma (northeast Italy), but I am happy to relocate for the right opportunity.
If your organization has an opening that resonates with my skills, or if you come across an announcement that might be a good fit, please let me know!
Here is a link to my website, where you can find more details about my work:

Thank you in advance!
