no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I partnered with Ophea (Ontario non-profit) to create a middle to high school resource on how to prevent this violence from happening because the sad reality is that currently, creating deep fake nudes of someone is not illegal.
A boy created AI-generated porn with the faces of girls he knew. Why Toronto police said he didn’t break the law
A group of high school girls went to police to report what they thought was a crime. A boy they knew had made naked pictures of them using artificial intelligence.

Does anyone have any tips for Holly's first #OLASC? Mine are:
- Bring layers/ chapstick/ hand cream - temperatures can fluctuate and it can get dry.
- A midday change of socks is a game-changer.
- Download the app when it launches in a few weeks to get familiar with it and build your schedule.
