More people need to read "Why does he do that?" because a great deal of people are bullied and we don't turn into abusers. The narrative these people are victims is perverse to the goal of stopping abuse because it's not only false but contributes the cycle.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.
