Let me preface this by saying I’ve worked in both academia and private enterprise.
I would say it’s more proof that the idea of academia as an “ivory tower” that holds itself to a higher standard than business and government is utterly delusional. Academia is subject to the same desire for power, money, and prestige because it’s run by people, and people with too much ambition and not enough integrity tend to rise to the top because they simply do not care about ethics. It’s the same everywhere; higher education is no different than the business world.
Except that the saying, “those who can’t do, teach; those who can’t teach become college professors” is absolutely true without exception and I will fight anyone who disagrees.
Academics do research and publish papers. Getting recognition for your research attracts grant funding and leadership opportunities. One could say this can corrupt the pursuit of truth and knowledge.
I’ve seen academics push colleagues to be cited in their papers in order to grow their influence. Counting citations is a way academics compete and try to show their value. It doesn’t necessarily correlate to quality research.
Okay, i agree with all of that, but I was addressing that “those who can’t do, teach; those who can’t teach become college professors” can’t make sense as college professors, in addition to research, teach college courses.
The cruel temperatures aside, can we not talk about the idea of children’s prisons? It just feels wrong. They are kids. likely older kids, but still just fucking kids.
The company that made the mosquitoes are still running pilot studies that are apparently showing promise. They haven’t published their exact results, but they are trying to be transparent with the locals so they do webinars to update them on their results. Here’s a link to a webinar they gave a few months ago: youtu.be/gdYSLKDUD38
Cool. No one should care, because the face tissues are useless. Besides, breathing into the same mask all day, combined with oils off your face, as you constantly grab it with your fingers to readjust it, defeats the whole purpose. Then there’s the utterly useless cloth masks that people wear several times over. I mean, there’s zero studies to prove their effectiveness to begin with. But, society conforms itself because it’s “for your/other’s safety”
