I really appreciated this article by @drkevinrmcclure.com on faculty motivation and its connections to self-determination theory. It got me thinking about how to help faculty feel that their work is valued and meaningful. When traditional rewards are threatened, leaders need to support autonomy.

It’s unreasonable to expect professors to hit hurdle after hurdle and still stay in the race. Institutions are going to have to clear some obstacles.

Would ChatGPT recommend hiring you? It depends on your age and gender according to new research on stereotypes in online text and images and in LLMs go.nature.com/4njUvKn

Would ChatGPT hire you? Your age and gender matter
Online stereotypes about younger women and older men could be affecting real-world hiring decisions. Researchers have analysed hundreds of thousands of images from places like IMDb and Google Image Search as well as the kinds of online texts used to train large language models. They found a persistent age gap between men and women when it comes to how they are shown and talked about online. This age gap, where women are stereotyped as being generally younger than men, could be impacting both the gender pay gap and the way ChatGPT ranks resumes.
