Happy Star Wars day! Throwback to this @wnpr radio interview I did about alien life and why we wonder so much about what’s out there (in a galaxy long ago and far away, perhaps?) open.substack.com/pub/kathry…

My latest story covers news about AI in medicine:
May 2
An AI reasoning model performed better than human doctors at reaching a diagnosis. “We’re witnessing a really profound change in technology that will reshape medicine,” says study author Arjun Manrai.

The first robot scientist, named Adam, made real discoveries in biology. Now, AI is stepping far beyond lab assistants — into the role of researcher.

Did you know that trapdoor spiders weave secret lairs? Or that mangrove trees build new land? See what I drew and learned on a trip to the rainforest of Costa Rica.

Science vocab rocks! 🔬📚 🆕 on #LitLinks
Students pick a tricky science word, dig into its meaning, then create a short video, reel, or poster to teach it.
Perfect for boosting science literacy creativity!

Today, I volunteered as a virtual visiting author for #WorldReadAloudDay at six classrooms around the USA. I read from my book THE UFO FILES. But first, I test your wits with a space quiz. Click the link for the quiz and full video! 👽 kathrynhulick.substack.com/p…

While writing this, I uncovered a lot of skepticism and criticism centered around whether it's fair to compare sperm whale sounds to human language -- is this just wishful thinking?

Excited to launch my book Artificial Humanities in a conversation with Ted Chiang and James Yu at the Commonwealth Club!
Fiction is the new laboratory for testing, evaluating, and developing AI.

"The capacity for language exists along a
continuum [...]. The idea that language
development does not require uniquely human properties becomes increasingly important as legal boundaries expand to include nonhuman species."

Law is language. What does finding language-like structure in more-than-humans mean for the law?
