Emulating Public Opinion: A Proof-of-Concept of AI-Generated Synthetic Survey Responses for the Chilean Case
Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising avenues for methodological and applied innovations in survey research by using synthetic respondents to emulate human answers and behaviour, potentially mitigating measurement and representation errors. However, the extent to which LLMs recover aggregate item distributions remains uncertain and downstream applications risk reproducing social stereotypes and biases inherited from training data. We evaluate the reliability of LLM-generated synthetic su…

Here are my favourites from the National Portrait Gallery's Portrait Award 2025. It's a fantastic selection this year, and free to see as always.

Mother, by Diego José Aznar Remón Composed in muted tones, with momentary flashes of pink, this portrait of the artist's wife and son shows them on an unkempt bed, the exhausted mother asleep, the baby awake and looking directly at the viewer. It is a moment of gorgeous intimacy.
The Echo - Self-Portrait, by Pippa Hale-Lynch This self-portrait has the quality of a doubly exposed photograph, or one that has slipped and smudged in the process of development. Your eye slides over the detail, unable to lock on. Her face is pale, but with flushed cheeks, against a black background. The painting explores themes of solitude and grief stemming from the loss of her mother.
Ukrainian Girl, by Nelson Hernandez A female figure with her back to the viewer stands at a window, through which shines a wintry light illuminating individual strands of her light blonde hair. Chilean artist Nelson Hernandez's spectral portrait of his Ukrainian friend, Kseniia, captures a brief moment in time: 'I was moved by her stillness as she gazed out the window. Suddenly, the drawing in her hoodie evoked in me a scene of war, a metaphor of her past and the burden she carries.'
Portrait of a Sculptor, by Dide Blasting out bright red, the surface of Dide's portrait of the sculptor Laurence Edwards seems alive with a kinetic, electric energy. The sculpture sits in a brightly patterned armchair, looking directly at the viewer, with legs crossed and grubby boots prominent. It explores 'the messy plaster-splattered existence of artists in their studios'.

From Chile to Greece, ‘ghost gear’ from fish farms haunts the seas
Each year since 2021, Pia Reveco and her husband have set sail from Puerto Montt to spend the Chilean summers navigating Patagonia aboard their sailboat. Last year, they traveled along the fjords and mountains of the Golfo de Penas; three years ago, they reached Laguna San Rafael National Park, where a glacier resembling an ice […]

The Simons Observatory: Characterization of the 220/280 GHz TES Detector Modules
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new suite of cosmic microwave background telescopes in the Chilean Atacama Desert with an extensive science program spanning cosmology, Galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, and particle physics. SO will survey the millimeter-wave sky over a wide range of angular scales using six spectral bands across three types of dichroic, polarization-sensitive transition-edge sensor (TES) detector modules: Low-Frequency (LF) modules with bandpasses centered near 30 and 4…
