“Surgeon under investigation over ‘chilling’ video of him tearing down teal’s corflute: This video is a stark reminder of the breadth of harmful misogynistic attitudes across the community.
“What we saw in that video was not just vandalism – it was a chilling display of misogyny and intimidation.”
A spokesperson for Ryan’s campaign confirmed on Friday that a donation made by (Prof.) #GregMalham had been rejected and his money refunded.
Ryan – a #paediatric #neurologist, #researcher and #professor prior to her political career – said the video was deeply concerning, but not an isolated incident.”
The fact that Ryan worked in the same medical field at the same level (ie: Colleagues) makes this a *targeted* action.

Day 21 
“A #Melbourne #surgeon has admitted tearing down a Dr Monique Ryan election sign before tutoring men in how to “bury the #body” in a video that has outraged #AntiViolence campaigners and politicians.
A video circulating on #SocialMedia shows #Professor #GregMalham praising US President Donald Trump after tearing down the teal #Kooyong MP’s #corflute before bundling it into the boot of a car and addressing “the boys”.”
How many women have been killed in Aus this year. This will be a Police matter and Professional Standards hearing.

Something I made for my intro stats class a few years ago. Nobody really appreciated it, which is a tragedy because it's absolutely top-notch humor.
Student email: Dear Dr. Jantic, I'm confused about my grade for Assignment 5. I don't understand how it could be so low. I am consistently a solid student, so this is perplexing to me. I hope you'll share any insight you have and that we can find a way to work this out.
Me: Dear Student, the assignment was only half done, so you might consider finishing the other half. I suspect this explains your grade and will resolve your confusion.
Andreas Maurer ist neuer #Professor für Experimentelle Neuroonkologische #Radiopharmazie an der #UniLeipzig. Sein Ziel ist es, die unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten der Radiopharmazie auszubauen, um Patient:innen und Ärzt:innen zu helfen. Den Studierenden möchte er die Faszination und das Potenzial interdisziplinärer Arbeit und Zusammenarbeit vermitteln.

Pfft, who gets to tell a tenured Professor when to go to bed? You should file a grievance.
“Perhaps my farm experience helped me to be good at math (...) as my classmates and I moved through high school, my female math ability seemed to make people turn away from me. (...) My teacher (...) was a (...) supportive example of ‘girls can do math’.” - JoAnne Growney
To my #CS #professor friends on MathsTodon.xyz: what #programming languages are you teaching as the "proper first language" to your freshmen, and what are the delights and dismays thereof?
Some 30y ago, I taught C and ML to the CS undergrads—my two favourite classic languages. But, boy, they were a handful to teach to novices. But then, you lot might well have an easier task now, given that a typical CS freshman today knows several languages already (at least #Python and/or #JavaScript
), by the time they enter the uni.
This story is really worrying and concerning.
"Xiaofeng Wang, a longtime computer science professor at Indiana University, has disappeared along with his wife, and their profiles on the school's website were wiped ahead of recent FBI raids."

Day two: Health 
“#Professor #PatMcGorry, #psychiatrist and executive director of youth mental health organisation #Orygen, said iatrogenic harm was a direct result of *chronic neglect* of the #MentalHealth system that was now “absolutely terminal”.
Let us see what the political muppets from both (all) sides have to say about health & mental health funding and initiatives.

“My PhD was all about understanding what happens to blood flow in collapsible blood vessels like the giraffe jugular vein. In my postdoc I was investigating how to optimise ventilator settings for patients in ICU and then how to deliver inhaled therapies into the lungs. Since then, my focus has been in trying to understand how diseases like Asthma and other respiratory diseases originate and then progress. This involves incorporating biology and physics into mathematical and computational models, using approaches from different areas of applied maths. More recently I have started to look into the mechanisms that could lead to a rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and Long Covid.” - Bindi Brook
IDK if this helps a lot, but when the news says "X University" did something, it usually means the president did. Almost all US #universities are #authoritarian hierarchies where exactly one person has ultimate power* over hiring/firing budgets, salaries, and policy, and that person was appointed by bodies higher up the hierarchy, not elected or meaningfully chosen by faculty, staff, or students. The president often delegates things to the provost(s), deans, directors, or VPs, but still ultimately has all responsibility for, and power over, their decisions.
The faculty tend to be a diverse bunch, but many are much more committed to basic values than the president. We just don't have any power, and we all too frequently fail to use our voice.
