Plenty of 1st rate scientists over the last 50 years have raised their voices to say “Our leadership, grant making groups, and journals are lying about X.”

How many of them have a 2nd home. A 1st home? A grant? A professorship? An invited talk? Even an affiliation?

Come on man.

If scientists wants science to be taken seriously, they've got to stop doing stupid stuff like publishing the zillionth study claiming that groupwise disparities are proof of bigotry, and then firing scientists who point out the obvious flaw in that reasoning. https://www.sensible-med.com/p/a-cancellation-and-a-firing-at-obesity

We cut off the academic oxygen to anyone who challenges the leadership.

Invite me back to Harvard as the co-founder of the Science and Engineering Workforce Project in the @HarvardEcon department and I will give a talk on how this really works. You don’t have to pay me a cent if you video it.

I’ll cover:

The need to fire Claudine Gay.
The need to end activist studies depts.
University Bioweapon research
String Theory
CPI Cost of Living
Evolutionary theory applied to Humans
Low Dimensional Geometry
NSF STEM Shortage Panics
DEI hiring against merit
Epstein and Science
Cognitive abilities expectations in Geographicly widely separated populations.

We can do it in Memorial Hall to overflow crowds or one of the ground floor Science Center halls.

It can’t happen. You aren’t serious about this. You are looking for a little truth. Not a return to actual white knuckle science.

Or am I wrong in this? I have the credentials having done this work *AT* Harvard. Let me know.

We make anyone pointing at the real problem lose everything within the system. We expell them. We impugn them. That is the problem.

@sapinker you are one of the most courageous voices inside the system. I appreciate that.

Those more courageous than you are not there anymore and many are every bit as good as you. Look around. Where did they go? Where is Jim Watson? Who replaced Serge Lang? What did they do to Larry when he spoke in the program I co-Founded with Richard??

You are a professor. Invite those who stood up back and call for the firing of Claudine.
