Harvard Professor Who Studied Honesty Loses Tenure Amid Accusations of Falsifying Data

Francesca Gino, a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School who has written extensively about honesty, was stripped of her tenure this month after allegations that she had falsified data. 🥲

Predatory journal? How the publishing elite weaponise vocabulary - Research Information The term is used – often aggressively – by established actors to discredit newcomers and preserve their turf, writes Dr Emmanuel Andrès

Wow ! Curiosity rover has found compelling evidence of an ancient carbon cycle on Mars—similar to Earth’s, but incomplete. This may change how we think about Mars’ climate history. #Mars #PlanetaryScience

Et pourtant, le Renault Espace…
Ok je sors 🚪

Axel Legay, Wallon de l’année 2023, licencié de l’UCLouvain après des accusations de harcèlement Déjà révoqué de la fonction publique française en 2019, l’expert en cybersécurité a été licencié de l’UCLouvain fin 2024 à la suite de plusieurs accusations internes. Les témoignages recueillis par « Le Soir » font état de harcèlement moral et sexuel ainsi que de propos sexistes et misogynes.

C'est le 2e chercheur que je vois en peu de temps, révoqué de la fonction publique en France pour des faits graves, qui se trouve tranquillou un poste à l'étranger (et continue son comportement dégueulasse/toxique) www.lesoir.be/666125/artic...

(Comment me gonfler: venir m'expliquer la publication scientifique, le financement des recherches scientifiques, la langue dans laquelle on doit rédiger des thèses ou des rapports, alors qu'on ignore tout du domaine et qu'au mieux on en a entendu parler à la TV.)

D’expérience passée (en 22), les sections (et donc les collègues) n’y sont pour rien. C’est la DGRH qui, sur la base de cette règle (ridicule mais publique) déclare des dossiers irrecevables avant qu’ils ne soient transmis aux sections qui n’ont ensuite aucun moyen de les récupérer

encore un délire du CNU: un dossier de qualification a été jugé non recevable car le rapport de soutenance de thèse contenait des paragraphes en anglais (i.e. non traduits). Les mêmes qui se permettent de porter un jugement sur l'internationalisation des collègues (promo par ex)

Le rejet des dossiers est systématique depuis 2 ou 3 ans. Les traductions sur l'honneur sont autorisées mais obligatoires ! On se fait facilement piéger : qui imaginerait qu'un rapport de soutenance en anglais permet de valider un diplôme mais n'est pas recevable pour la qualif. ?

Rising risks of sliding slopes in High Mountain Asia A new study has predicted an increase in landslide hazards in High Mountain Asia. The study authors linked higher emissions of greenhouse gases to the potential for higher risks from landslides.

Supplementing the research paper, the researchers released a new dataset, the 'High Mountain Asia Daily 5km Landslide HazaAccrd Indicator'.

Landslide insurance claims soar in New Zealand – NHC Brokers urged to help clients navigate coverage limits

In New Zealand, home insurance claims for landslides have increased tenfold in the last 3 year period (>10,000 claims). Landslides "now account for the majority of natural hazard insurance claims", according to the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake.

Brienz has just been evacuated for the second time. The decision is based, among other things, on thousands of simulations that ETH professor Jordan Aaron has produced using a computer model he developed. In an interview with ETH News, he explains why this model was used.

Il y a beaucoup d'agitation au sujet des annonces d'Antoine Petit, PDG du #CNRS, avec des liens vers des articles sous paywall.

Ce qui a été déclaré: actuellement, 46% des effectifs du CNRS sont dans 25% des laboratoires, et le CNRS trouve cela trop "dispersé".

The reactivation of the #landslide Ahörndler in Wattenwil (CH) began around one year ago. Movements of up to 1 metre/day have destroyed 60 hectares of forest, 4 residential buildings and 2.5 kilometres of roads. The volume of the landslide is estimated at approx. 5.0 million cubic metres.

A new evacuation has been ordered of Brienz/Brinzauls in Switzerland, driven by renewed rapid movement of the slope that failed in 2023.
