🧵Excited to share this small study on scientist's beliefs about the causes of research misconduct. In our small sample of qualitative interviews, we found:

(1) that ignorance of the rules was *not* a salient cause for researchers

Unfortunately, the deadline for full consideration is very very tight - Feb 1. Get in touch with me if you have any questions! https://t.co/PqdRMGE5cb

Popping back in to say that the new department of Health Humanities and Bioethics at Rochester is hiring a junior or mid-career bioethicist. This is part of a package with *THREE* new TT hires alongside our new Chair, Lainie Ross.

All sub-specialties in bioethics are welcome but we have special interest in pediatric ethics, genomics and translational bioethics. We are very interested in philosophers, but a willingness to collaborate with non-philosophers is a must.

I think this is probably my limit. Twitter is the last social media site I really use, and it's been very professionally useful, but it's hard to justify staying engaged when the owner is like this...Logging off for awhile.

@sam_director_ My colleague, Richard Dees, teaches a hybrid grad/undergrad course on Public Health Ethics every year. Very pol phil focused.

@sinafazelpour @NIST @Northeastern This is great news! I couldn't think of a more thoughtful person to be working with NIST - the AI Standards have real potential IMO.

[Jon Herington @JCCHerington]

Very happy to be a small part of this project. There are lots of challenging ethical questions that arise when we integrate AI into creative workflows, and I'm excited to dig deeply into them with musicians, AI developers, and educators.

@bayesianboy This intervention into the Optum risk rating algo. Simple but very effective! https://t.co/ENRkm0gC0w

[Jon Herington @JCCHerington]

This is incredibly helpful advice for grad students in philosophy. For e.g., I used to think I had to focus on one project, but I always got stuck! Now I have >6 projects at a time, often with coauthors, and my writing, productivity and ideas have all improved. Do what works!

@DrSJFine This is *very* relatable content - I think I have read that book (or something similar) dozens of times.

CMU IS HIRING! We are searching in the area of philosophy of AI or machine learning. The appointment is joint with computer science, and we are eager to consider applicants with either philosophy or computer science/machine learning backgrounds

I'm very proud to see the release of the AI Bill of Rights (BoR) today. It all started with a vision articulated by @AlondraNelson46. And is the product of so much hard work and collaboration among so many within @WHOSTP, and within the government.

@AlexJohnLondon This is admittedly a deep cut

@kkthomason I literally screwed this up in the title of a published paper! Missed it in the proof.

[Jon Herington @JCCHerington]

A huge coup for bioethics @UofR ! Looking forward to helping build this department over the coming years.

A neat piece of research on what proportion of clinical trials end up informing practice. Interesting implications for discussions about the social value of research.

[Jon Herington @JCCHerington]

Looking forward to digging deeply into this. Too much science is done without due consideration of the asymmetric way in which it imposes risks on marginalized groups.

Is this the best way to deal with that? https://t.co/PA5DR6gDrP
