1 in 8 students experiences sexual violence in college, incl 1 in 4 undergrad women (26%)+ 1 in 14 undergrad men (7%) University administrators: "Imagine if we had to refund all that tuition! Could you imagine!?!" Everyone else: "Imagine if you made systemic fucking changes to prevent rape!"

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

My institutional email quarantined an incoming message due to High Confidence that it was a phishing attempt. It was a request to review a manuscript for an academic journal in my field. It's very tempting to not correct this.

1/ REALLY insightful thread. (Jess's, not miee) Many of my students (particularly undergrads) lack basic computer skills, including folder structures, knowing that you need to download certain files to open them, how to navigate a spreadsheet etc. And it affects their ability to do schoolwork.

Turns out empirically derived phenotypes (data-driven symptom sets) nested within traditional mental disorders can help reduce diagnostic heterogeneity! We learned so much cool and interesting stuff in this study. I could talk (/post) about it all day, but here’s a few highlights (🧵)

“One person is an autocratic president of the university for decades” certainly wasn’t a flawless system but it’s clear that “admins hop from job to job scaling the career ladder by filling their CV with ‘accomplishments’ that are expensive burdens to the schools they leave behind” is even worse.

As an aside, "Excellence" must be the single-most overused, empty, boilerplate word used in academic bureaucracy and it's typically a stand-in for "We don't know what we want so you should do everything".

This let-them-fail approach just grades students on their knowledge of academia's hidden curriculum. And risks perpetuating inequities. Instead I'd say: spend time in *every* course teaching students to write effectively in that field and give them opportunities for low-stakes practice and feedback

I really dislike the trend on this site where people mock Hegseth for having a drinking problem. It is stigmatizing. We can be scornful of fascists without also stigmatizing problems that lots of people struggle with. We should mock him for being an incompetent bootlicker. Isn't that enough?
