Being in academia is so much more than research and publishing papers! @lifeinmud and myself discuss how life is as two early career researchers w a young son, and how much we benefit from each other and having support from our hosts and @carlsbergfondet

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

I've stumbled upon 2 boxes of BW photos dating back to WWII of all kinds of things related to the #Arctic I can't wait to take a closer look and start organising them so they can be of use to others - I'm looking at you @aabjoerk @CoastDidier @lifeinmud @TundraTime @mkwardjones🎥

Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today…
As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.

When nominating academics for awards, can we please stop using the number of PhD mentees who went into academic positions as a metric of success? I wanted to go into academia but loads of PhDs don’t. Let’s stop assuming that folks that didn’t go into academia “couldn’t cut it”

Women of academia - we need to support each other to create good trouble and positive change. I see too much judgment and criticism of women leaders for not doing it the traditional way, from women. Breaking this cycle will help the entire system. Thank you and solidarity.

This lady is an English teacher who’s been roasting incels by correcting their grammar and it’s currently my favorite thing on the internet
