UBC FACULTY! Interested in advocating, gathering, commiserating, learning about the university's poor financial condition? I don't know what we'll do yet, but I would like to see who might be interested. DM me.

in the psych dept? the mf was a pedo and didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree. these people are all WEI as @luriedanielfavors.bsky.social says - white, entitled & incompetent

but harvard was *quick* to cut the number of Black students it admitted once it got the green light from scotus because dei
“The review found that Harvard in 2005 admitted Mr. Epstein as a visiting fellow in the psychology department and readmitted him the following year. And the review concluded “it is likely” that Mr. Epstein visited Harvard more than 40 times after his release from jail, between 2010 and 2018.”

Universties, stop pretending tenure protects sexual harassers and abusers. It absolutely does not. Larry Summers should be fired immediately.
I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

My latest cries into the abyss, in @thenation.com

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

Larry Summers, former president of Harvard and former US secretary of the treasury, is stepping back from everything (OpenAI, NYT, CAP) but the role in which he poses the most harm: teaching.

@joycevance.bsky.social covers the horrendous "Quiet, Piggy" remarks of Trump aimed at a Bloomberg reporter simply doing her job, & how his lifetime of misogyny is leading to his own undoing — his unglued panic to stop the reveal of the #EpsteinFiles.

Women, claim Miss Piggy.

Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.

In @statnews.com today, Stefan Peterson and I write about using a human rights-based approach to deal with vaccine denialism and the return of measles, whooping cough and diphtheria

I see this same pattern in psychology—there is a huge desire among early career scholars to do applied work

This is very important, but including basic science perspectives still improves the research quality
"Basic scientists consistently enhance scientific output quality, yet research and newly joining researchers have shifted toward applied orientations."

Lolzzz ..deception is allowed to spread Islam...you must be kidding me!
The narrative of Mamdani changing character after being elected mirrors an Islamophobic conspiracy theory that was making rounds in pro-Zionist circles during the campaign—one related to “taqiyya” and accusations that all Muslims are suspect because deception is supposedly allowed to spread Islam.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

#openAI How addictive is this? Is anyone trying to find this out? This is extremely disturbing.
The new lawsuits against OpenAI are tragic and deeply troubling.

One of the plaintiffs, Kate Fox, is suing following the death of her husband, Joe Ceccanti. Ceccanti experienced at least two acute crises following extensive ChatGPT use. He did not survive the second:
