One of my favorite philosophers @kneer and I are made of the same wood, but disagree on one issue.
Lovely panel discussion on #ethicsofAI with my colleague Sonja Schmer Galunder @sonjasg at the Graz Technology Impact Summit last week.

Congrats @IreneSolaiman! And 🙏 💓.
I've worked on tough AI release decisions: now open models on @HuggingFace, formerly GPT-2 @openai So I wrote a paper on how generative AI systems released and why! Spoiler: it's not just about PR! Some takeaways: https://t.co/BgFpDArCwh

This apology is not sufficient. Discrimination against Asian Americans is pervasive and too often excused. Research from my @Purdue colleagues @sharonli__ and @FrankiKung demonstrates that dehumanizing stereotypes, like the ones perpetuated here, drive mistreatment. @AAPAonline

Amazing example of sexual selection: The male pufferfish works 24-hours a day for a week to create this ocean-floor masterpiece. Why does he bother? It's his equivalent of the peacock's tail: an adaptation designed to attract mates.

So we're not supposed to describe applicants as "caring" and "compassionate" because those words are too feminized. Frankly, this is what's wrong with academia! Can we celebrate stereotypically female traits instead? I'd rather mentor a compassionate student than a driven jerk.
This guide on avoiding #genderbias in reference writing in #academia is one I always return to! Print it out and hang it on your wall! 📌

Tons of energy & advocacy has gone towards getting girls interested in STEM, but the counter-push to get boys into HEED (healthcare, early education, and domestic roles) is 🦗🦗. We cannot achieve gender equality until we VALUE CARE and expand horizons for men as well as women.

We come into the world with a basic brain plan that can be wired in a variety of ways to construct different kinds of minds. What we call "human nature" is really many human natures. Variation is the norm.

A partner's anxiety means "a lot of fear, a lot of control, and uncontrolled emotional outbursts” — and a refusal to get help.
