It seems pretty funny to allow the WSJ to cover a paper and then when it’s revealed to be fraudulent start crying about how it wasn’t even peer reviewed and the system worked etc. Why did our discipline tell the WSJ it was credible if it wasn’t peer reviewed then ?

If the president / secretary of defense really believe that eliminating DEI efforts will make things more "merit" based then they should probably eliminate the explicit veteran preferences in federal hiring too.
The fact that they aren't tells you everything you need to know...

I was incredibly honored to be awarded the CSWEP Carolyn Shaw Bell Award. When I accepted the award, I talked about the importance of mentoring.
The lessons I pass on are kind of obvious. But they are important, so I am going to share them yet again. (A🧵)

So a "friend" just asked chatGPT to write a first draft of a predoc mentoring plan for a grant. It's really good.
Is it plagiarism/wrong to use as-is with light edits?
My friend wants to do what's right but without creating busy work (i.e. there's no time pressure). Assume it will be followed.
