nice but the people we are talking about are new money.

Readily shareable "cheatsheets" that summarize both context and recommendations (not a substitute for reading the white paper itself, of course!) are available here: pictureanastronomer.github.io/whitepaper

Cover of "Picture an Astronomer: Best Practices for Retaining Talent in Astrophysics", which features an illustration of a 19-year-old Vera Rubin looking through a telescope over a backdrop of a first light image of spiral galaxies from the Rubin Observatory.

Happy International Women's Day!

Perfect time for me to (re)share our white paper on increasing the retention of women in professional astrophysics (really full of suggestions that broaden participation in academic science in general).

"Contrary to popular belief, rules of engagement are not some legal or ethical nicety (although crafting effective rules of engagement lean on both disciplines). Rather, rules of engagement are first and foremost an expression of strategy."

“A new study from Northwestern University warns that coordinated scientific fraud is becoming increasingly common. From fabricated data to purchased authorships and paid citations, researchers say organized groups are manipulating the academic publishing system. To investigate the issue, scientists combined large scale analysis of scientific publications with detailed case studies. While misconduct is often portrayed as the work of individual researchers cutting corners, the Northwestern team discovered something far more complex. Their findings reveal global networks of people and organizations working together to systematically exploit weaknesses in the publishing process. The scale of the problem is striking. According to the researchers, traudulent studies are now appearing at a faster rate than legitimate scientific publications. The authors say the findings should serve as a warning to the scientific community to strengthen safeguards before public trust in s E ence begins to erode.”

“This study is probably the most depressing project I've been involved with in my entire life…It's distressing to see others engage in fraud &in misleading others. But if you believe that science is useful & important for humanity, then you have to fight for it”🧪

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.

Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.
