My advisor just sent me an email saying he tried to avoid pronouns when introducing me to his class yesterday and that he is sorry if he misgendered me.

This man is Literally 80 years old so the idea that old folx can't learn and change is some bullshit.

Well-meaning but naive people: If we allow scientists to simply withdraw their findings in cases of honest error, we will have better science!

Unscrupulous scientists who literally commit brazen academic fraud: So all I gotta do is make a believable case that the error was "honest" and I can make up whatever bullshit I want?

Well-meaning but naive people: Yes, this will make science better somehow!!

I heard about Riipen yesterday - it looks like Upwork, but for businesses to partner with students on projects. I'm trying to decide if I'm just overly suspicious of all ed tech in general or is this one sounds extra sketchy. At least they don't charge students directly (they charge schools and businesses.)

I may have to dig around.

My friend just offered this advice to me, it was very obvious, and somehow I had never thought of it.

Keep a journal for teaching, and after class jot down one thing that worked and one thing that didn't.

There's a bunch of new people here recently, so I think I'll say a few things that will scare off many of the sorts of people that we don't want here

It is the official policy of scholar.social that:

🍍 Nazis should have their speech curtailed at every opportunity
🍍 Supporters of Jordan Peterson or Milo Yiannopoulos—leave now
🍍 There is no such thing as "reverse racism"
🍍 Vaccines don't cause autism, and for that matter, autistic people are equally valuable!

i hate how youtube monetization has incentivized everyone to convey information in the form of a youtube video demo even when it is the worst possible format and all you really need is a simple diagram

Why are Springer books so horrendously expensive?

I really wish that my career didn't wholly depend on taking a string of very short-term, low-pay jobs in probably different countries with no guarantee that anything will ever get better or that it won't just all be a waste of time with no job-stability payoff at the end
