My favorite talk at this year‘s @blackinneuro.bsky.social conference from Black in AI founder Dr. Timnit Gebru. We discussed the problematic history of AI research, and reimagined a future in which AI is decentralized, well-defined, and less biased. Lots to think/read about from this one!

Writing the “discussion” section of my PhD paper is SO FUN. It really ties all the things I’ve been thinking and researching about together. I feel like such a genius/mad scientist rn haha

I wrote about how we must stand and fight against the threat of eugenics.
Fueled by white nationalism and scientific racism, these beliefs are factually wrong and ethically abhorrent.
This fight includes supporting efforts to diversify our workforce & science. To stop now would be a deep betrayal.

Eugenics is on the rise again: human geneticists must take a stand
Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics.

See this chart for one stark example: NIH funding has dramatically slowed down.
Grant awards are down *$3 billion* so far, compared to same time period last year
I asked the White House to explain.
“This is not a researcher entitlement program,” said an official, defending their new approach.

Menopause is experienced by half the world's population and yet has been under-researched. This is an example of why equity and inclusion in research is important.
