True academic leadership is not about defending reputations at any cost. It’s about fostering respect, addressing misconduct, and ensuring power is managed responsibly. Gray’s message serves as a blueprint for change. Thoughts? Drop them below. (8/8)

Professional societies like IEEE must do more than pay lip service to diversity and inclusion. They have a duty to foster ethical standards and hold members accountable. Silence and inaction discourage diverse talent from entering or staying in academia. (6/8)
Senior faculty shape academic culture. Gray noted that junior members felt pressured to support defenses they didn’t agree with. This power dynamic stifles open dialogue and perpetuates harmful norms. A healthy academic culture requires questioning power, not preserving it. (5/8)
14.12.2024 14:02 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Gray calls for due process—a fair investigation for both accuser and accused. Academic institutions, especially those receiving public funding, must ensure transparency, even when reputations are at stake. Shielding legacies undermines the credibility of the entire field.

Academia’s hierarchical structure often fosters power imbalances, not just between faculty and students, but also among colleagues. These imbalances can create environments where misconduct is tolerated or excused. (1/8)
Mein @springer1842.bsky.social Buch betrachtet ML als die rechnerische Umsetzung des wissenschaftlichen Prinzips. Dieses Prinzip besteht darin, ein Modell an ein Phänomen (welches Daten erzeugt) kontinuierlich anzupassen.
