"The ability to speak more than one language might slow brain ageing and protect against cognitive decline. In a study of more than 80,000 people, researchers found that people who are multilingual are half as likely to show signs of accelerated biological ageing than are those who just speak one language. The effect was also larger in people that spoke more than one additional language. The researchers hope that their findings will influence policy makers to encourage language learning in education."
"The preprint repository arXiv has announced that it will no longer accept review or position papers in computer science amid a flood of low-quality submissions, some of which appear to have been written using artificial intelligence tools. "What we are seeing is many surveys that are just annotated bibliographies without analysis, synthesis or road mapping," says computer scientist and chair of arXiv's computer-science section Thomas Dietterich. Such papers have a whiff of paper-mill activity about them, he says, which has prompted the server to"
A year-long measles outbreak in Canada removed the country’s disease-free status. A study of over 80,000 people found that speaking multiple languages correlates with about half the likelihood of accelerated biological ageing, with larger effects for those who speak more additional languages, and researchers hope results will encourage language learning in education. China introduced a K visa to allow young foreign STEM researchers to move there without securing a job first, with eligibility limits based on age, education and experience. The arXiv server will stop taking computer-science review and position papers because many submissions are low-quality, often resembling annotated bibliographies and showing signs of paper-mill or AI-generated content.
