K-12 Education Leaders - AI Adoption Lessons From Past Classroom Tech

I'm thrilled to be speaking at the annual Civics of Technology Project conference this week and looking forward to talks by Meredith Broussard, Jean Ryoo, Rafi Santo, Daniel G. Krutka, Marie Heath, Jacob Pleasants and many others. I'll be describing some of my reporting for The New York Times on school tech boom and bust cycles over the last decade -- and how these patterns can resemble infinite loops in computer programming. I recently had a terrific discussion with Alexander Russo about the current urgency for AI in schools and how it sometimes feels like we have collective amnesia about some past classroom tech crusades that did not exactly live up to their promises. And I'd love to hear from others on this: What lessons have schools and education leaders learned from past classroom tech cycles? How are lessons learned from social media's impact on kids and teens informing school AI adoption and AI literacy efforts?

Founders & Employees at AI Startups - Post-IPO Philanthropy Plans

Everyone's watching the SpaceX/Anthropic/OpenAI IPOs and the wealth they're about to create. NYT DealBook covered it a few days ago; there's real speculation over just how much of this could flow into philanthropy. Timely for me. I'm working on a piece right now about founders and what to do with exit money around philanthropy when a liquidity event hits. Here's what I think matters most for nonprofits right now: Look at who's already in your network, on your board, or in your donor base with ties to these companies. Relationships build over time, not in the weeks after a liquidity event. A few things worth thinking through: → We're going to see a rise in Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) as an entry point. I'd expect that. → This is a pivotal moment, and not just because of the size of the money. Anthropic and OpenAI are AI companies, and the same technology creating this wealth is going to reshape how philanthropy itself operates: how gifts get sourced, how due diligence gets done, how organizations identify and steward donors. Watching how these founders and employees choose to give may be an early signal of how AI transforms the sector, not just funds it. → Many of these donors will also be earlier in their careers than the ones most gift officers are trained for. That changes the playbook in terms of how we look at generational wealth. The nonprofits and consultants who treat this as a chance to cultivate real, long-standing relationships, not a mailing list update, are the ones who'll still be in the room when the money actually moves. Who's building for this right now? Article linked in the comments

People With Lung Cancer In Clinical Trials - Prediction Markets

New York Times seeking perspectives on prediction markets/clinical trials Hi, all, My name is Rebecca Robbins, and I'm a reporter with the New York Times. I write about prescription medicines for the newspaper. You can read my bio and see my recent stories here:https://www.nytimes.com/by/rebecca-robbins I'm posting because I am hoping to hear the perspectives of people living with lung cancer for a news article I'm working on. I'm reporting on prediction markets on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket that allow people to bet money on whether a drug will win FDA approval. Kalshiannouncedlast week that it is also planning to soon allow people to bet on whether clinical trials will succeed. Here are several prediction markets for lung cancer drug approvals that are already up and active: https://kalshi.com/markets/kxifinatamab/ifinatamab-deruxtecan/kxifinatamab-27 https://kalshi.com/markets/kxivonescimab/ivonescimab/kxivonescimab-27 https://kalshi.com/markets/kxzidesamtinib/zidesamtinib/kxzidesamtinib-27 I'm interested in hearing what people with lung cancer, and in particular those who are currently or have previously enrolled in a clinical trial, think about these prediction markets. If you're interested in being interviewed for this story, you can reach me at 714-478-4224 [email redacted]. From there, we'll set up a phone or video interview. For this article, I'm hoping to speak with people who are comfortable with potentially being quoted in the newspaper using their full name. And beyond this story, I'd also like to hear from you if you have a suggestion for another issue in lung cancer that you think the New York Times should be writing about. Thank you for considering.

Corsicans & Non-Corsican Homeowners in Corsica - Autonomy & Attacks

Corsican Autonomy/Independence and vacation homes I am a New York Times journalist working on a story about the Corsican autonomy movement and how Corsicans feel about non-Corsicans buying vacation homes in Corsica. I was recently in Corsica reporting the story, but I have more questions. I realize this is a loaded topic, but I am deeply interested in understanding the complicated feelings and history. How do Corsicans feel about this? How do you feel about the autonomy constitutional amendment? What are your thoughts on the history of bombing/burning vacation homes? I know the number of bombings have fallen in recent years, but there was one incident this spring -- so the risk is still there. Separately, I would love to speak with non-Corsicans who own vacation homes in Corsica. What do you make of all this? Please send me a DM or email me at ronda (dot) kaysen (at) nytimes (dot) com.

Spouses With Dying Partners - How To Be Present

This week's #AskTheTherapist in The New York Times touches something a lot of people carry alone: how to be present with a spouse who is dying. Here's what I told our reader: Grief doesn't wait for the ending. When someone you love is slowly dying, the grieving is already happening — for both of you. The love and the losing are running at the same time. The pattern I see most often isn't fighting. It's silence. Both people already grieving. Neither knowing how to say so. Each carrying it alone. The move isn't to have the perfect conversation. It's to open the door: "I love you so much. I don't want either of us to go through this alone." That single sentence gives you both permission to stop performing "fine" — and that's usually where the real connection starts. 🔗 Read my advice in The New York Times: bit.ly/4aXnEHW ✉️ Submit your question: [email redacted] 🔔 Subscribe to the column: bit.ly/4mZtJaN

Spouses of Terminal Cancer Patients - Business Succession & Grief

In this week's #AskTheTherapist in The New York Times, a woman writes in that her husband has terminal cancer and she’s afraid to talk to him about the business they run together and how to manage it after his death. Will it upset him to talk about life after he’s gone? Not only do they need to talk about the business—but, I suggest, they might start by talking about their grief. Because grief doesn’t begin at the moment of death. Therapists call this anticipatory grief. It shows up wherever we are slowly losing someone or something we love like in cases of terminal illness, a loved one whose memory is fading, leaving a city or a beloved career. Both people usually feel it, but often neither knows how to say so. Silence doesn't spare either person. It just means you grieve alone, twice. So talk about it all—the business, the grief, the love, the loss—while you still can. Share this with someone who might need it. 🔗 Read my advice in The New York Times: bit.ly/3RzQmrI ✉️ Submit your question: [email redacted] 🔔 Subscribe to the column: bit.ly/4mZtJaN

Parents Who Used Or Plan Polygenic Tests & PGT-P - Impact On Choices

Did a DNA test or embryo screening change how you live or parent? (CircleDNA, Orchid, GenePlaza, etc.) Journalist looking to chat! Hey everyone! I’m a New York Times journalist working on a story about polygenic testing and screening and how it actually impacts our lives, choices, and parenting.

I’m especially interested in chatting with: Anyone who has tested themselves or their children for medical, behavioral, or cosmetic traits. Future parents who are considering, currently undergoing, or have completed PGT-P embryo screening during IVF. Parents (or future parents) who are using these genetic insights to guide parenting, lifestyle, or healthcare decisions. People who haven't gone through with a test or screening yet, but are actively planning to. I want to understand the deeply human side of this: What is motivating you to pursue this? Did your results actually change your trajectory? Did they give you peace of mind, or introduce more questions and ethical dilemmas? Privacy is paramount, so if you're open to a brief, casual chat about your experience, please drop a comment below or send me a DM.
