I'm using ChatGPT to generate fake resumes for a class assignment. I told it to generate a couple of "really bad" ones, and I'm honestly impressed with what it came up with. "LinkedIn available upon request" is sending me.
A really bad resume generated by ChatGPT. The formatting and fonts are wild.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

This is why you’re the dumbest motherfucker alive if you’re an academic who tries to ‘address their concerns’ these people don’t want to have a principled conversation about the appropriateness of diversity statements, professor, they want to destroy your job. You cannot meet them halfway.

The pact of the federal govt with universities was not a handout. It was a strategic decision to boost US leadership in technology, defense, and health. And it paid dividends. In tech, internet, in cancer drugs (for example), No other sector has invested in high risk high reward ideas like US govt.

Also free to travel within Mass and VT. I'm not going to restrict her travel, because I see no danger of flight

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

How accurately do citations reflect the original research? Do authors truly engage with what they cite? In a new study, we analyze millions of citation sentence pairs to measure citation fidelity and how it varies depending on authors’ engagement with prior literature. arxiv.org/abs/2502.20581 ⬇️

Such partnerships aren't confined to New England. Indeed, papers supported by the Maine Sea Grant form a network that spans the United States and beyond. It really shows that this local grant can form connections and impact across the whole country.

Although centered in Maine, the grant has supported collaborations and partnerships across New England with other universities as well as companies, institutes, and government agencies. Disrupting the grant could have ripple effects across this network.

Last week, The Maine Sea Grant was abruptly terminated. I decided to conduct a quick bibliometric analysis understand the role of this grant in Science. Its clear that this grant supports locally-relevant research related to the coastal ecosystem and economy of Maine.
A word cloud of common terms appearing in papers supported by the grant. "Gulf of Maine", "Fisheries", and "lobster" are prominent terms.
