Pointing out a specific nationality as an example during a presentation at a worldwide conference is highly unprofessional and a clear violation of the code of conduct. If you watched her full presentation, I don’t feel that what she said warranted such a reaction.
1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.
“My role combines research, data analysis, project management and collaboration with various stakeholders to improve public health outcomes in the area of traffic safety,” said our own Yuni Tang in a great piece on her alma mater @WVUPublicHealth website:
Cannot make it without my wonderful co-authors’ support and commitment- my PhD cohort: Brenna @Brenna_Kirk22 and Fola; and my dissertation committee members: Drs. Abildso @walkbikemgw, Winstanley @DrEWinstanley, Lily, and Rudisill (my mentor)!!
@UniTang_0920 et al.’s syst rev focuses on cannabis use among adolescents and young adults during COVID, highlighting mixed findings on use trends and the role of mental health issues. More studies are urged to understand long-term effects. Check it out at https://t.co/PxEDhpbReH
This is my first ever TRB conference. I had a wonderful time here! Nice to meet the impairment committees here, and I learned a lot about the impaired driving research. Also, thank you so much for those who stopped by my poster during the dinner time. @hsrcinfo@NASEMTRB#TRBAM
HSRC is very excited to announce that our own Laura Sandt and Carolino Mozingo have been named as the permanent co-directors of HSRC. Read more: https://t.co/s82Ly714eG
Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.
Public Health: Discontinue BS Public Health (to be merged with BS Health Services Management and Leadership) and PhD Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences. Eliminate 14 of 39 faculty FTE.
Public health is still an underestimated major although we experienced a devastating pandemic in which millions of people died, and #WVU will cut 1/3 of its public health faculty, despite being in a mountain state with some thriving public health crises.
@DrEWinstanley It must be something wrong with the state government and WVU admin and it’s shouldn’t be an R1 uni usually do. Where the new enrolled PH undergrads and grads can go if the department is eliminated…so sad to hear about this as an alumni 🥲
