TA evaluat'ns, like faculty evaluat'ns, are often biased in predictable ways. Using them as a metric for merit is deeply flawed. That the male co-author on this 👇🏿paper was surprised at results 🤣 will surprise few in the #EDI in #STEM world @FiRawle @shoshanahjacobs @dawnbazely

Students in an online class were told they had one of these 2 TAs. But behind the scenes, @EmilyKhazan, left, fulfilled TA duties for all 136 students. When student evaluations came in, though, guess which TA scored higher? #WomeninScience #womeninstem news.ufl.edu/2020/11/ta-bias…

I'm still seeing a lot of confusion about 'droplets' and 'aerosols', so I made a graphic.

No dystopian author adequately prepared me to witness the end of civilization in the toilet paper aisle at Costco on a Thursday afternoon. But there I did.

I've heard that coronavirus is going to cause a massive shortage of books, which will be essential when we're all stuck at home, so it's very important for everyone to rush out and start panic-buying novels. Thank you.

A Glossary for Research Reports (C. D. Graham, 1957). There are a lot of corrupted versions in circulation, but this is the original as reprinted in A Random Walk in Science in 1973.
