Still surreal that the professors who berated me for mixing up "that" and "which" and banned calculators in multivariate calculus class are now jumping on the #chatgpt bandwagon. #feministscience #tech #LLMs #academicchatter

The multiple portrayals of Rosalind Franklin provides an interesting study on sexism, and society’s bewilderment as to how to portray a single woman scientist. #academicchatter #womenshistory #feministscience

Unless they are learning how to build their own LLMs and train and test them ethically with high accuracy (Ie computer science and hardcore coding--I can actually do this and its a fabulous skill) it's just warmed over prompt engineering which is useless. #tech #feministscience

Too many students are convinced by their own universities, by some of their teachers and professors, and by the AI companies themselves that ‘using ai to study is getting ahead of the game’
But the process they seek to get ahead of is the point.

I've had several former undergrad students who have gone on to graduate education in the healthcare field (med school, PT, dental school, etc.) tell me that the use of "AI" in their programs by their fellow students is rampant

What this means for the future of healthcare is quite alarming

STEM MUST do better. Amazing people & research gets smothered by politics, profit, or spite. I believe in universities, but am continually disheartened by funding cuts, political attacks, and their own corporate mentality that undermines its purported mission, education for all.
