really pisses me off how when i'm googling an article it won't come up, but an ai summary will, as if ai has more of a right to access these texts without paying (:

I got a brief dissertation extension (10 days in total) on the grounds of a health issue. The university then could only give me my final results in October instead of July (I submitted late June), which was after my visa expired. 1/2

Just checked with people who sit at Ghent University's board of governors: Fake News. Disciplinary proceedings against Nathan Cofnas are still ongoing. (Make of the other communication what you will)

this is so helpful; if anyone would be able to share the same for the first two "levels" of literature publications with me I'd be forever grateful bc I find it quite hard to distinguish them at times :)

With respect to Cofnas, why is nobody talking about this in the MSM? > We find it [improbably] that [he] was the best out of 14 candidates for this job[. His boss] repeatedly stated in the press that [he] published in highly ranked journals and had been affiliated with leading institutions. 1/n

i wish i could repost the letter Nathan Cofnas's department wrote disavowing him but its removed. summary: he lacks all expertise in his current job (he works on phil of biology, his job in liberalism). He was hired by a colleague-racist. just for ideological reasons, if you will.

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

Self-proclaimed 'race realist' Nathan Cofnas is up to shit again - if you see plagiarism allegations to a Black Cambridge professor, know they're originating from Cofnas and take them with a grain of salt and double-check them before believing a word.
