This. Also, the pearl clutching around faculty having to, gasp, take teaching duties seriously is something else: “Gilmore said it was likely the campus would tap faculty to step in and support undergrads and make sure their grades are posted on time.”

@sfchronicle This article refers to “postdoctoral students” which aren’t a thing. By definition, a postdoc has completed a doctorate. They hold the same degrees as the professors who employ them in full time jobs. It’s like calling a beat journalist a student intern.

“We want to challenge the paleontological community, and the broader academic community, to […] reflect on how we approach abuse, harassment, and misconduct within our field. Science is predicated on the practice of getting new data and updating our beliefs. Here are new data.”

So please. Share this. Talk about it. Make him famous.

It’s the only way to start making things better. Put some teeth behind your DEI statements.

Why are UC lecturers going on strike, halting instructions for thousands of students?

At issue is what the union says are seven instances of unfair labor practices by UC leadership going back 20 months https://t.co/6o0oUhqQrW

The draft agenda for next week's #ACIP meeting is up. No surprise: Tuesday is about Covid vaccines. (Read: Pfizer's pediatric vaccine.)
If/when ACIP recommends the vaccine & CDC Director Walensky signs off, kids 5 to 11 can start to be vaccinated. https://t.co/gNj9B7XXZs

@fermentedlands That is scary, Colleen. Is there any sort of collective faculty response? (Side note: I kind of loved “vaccine mama date.” If anyone wants any kind of date with this mama, you gotta have your vaccines.)

Here is some of the @CDC data that was looked at and published by @washingtonpost to make the recommendations to re-implement #masks earlier this week

Note that the #DeltaVariant is MORE transmissible than
- MERS & SARS
- Ebola
- Seasonal Flu and the Flu of 1918
- Smallpox

Still processing my first run in with the police...

I've been doing a lot of cicada interviews & with national news outlets contacting me, I thought I should have some live ones onhand. So I was delighted when my cousin called panicking about the "swarm" on the side of her home.

“The profession as a whole was not very diverse to begin with. If we start sliding backward, we risk [academia] becoming even more male and even more White.” I said what I said. #PandemicEffects
