Senior scholars need to stop lifting from the conf papers/talks of less established scholars without citation. This has happened to me 2x since earning tenure in March. And the climate of distrust & fear this unethical behavior produces for ECRs is worse. #AcademicTwitter

India surpassed 2,000 deaths a day last week—and those are just the cases that have been recorded. By next month, it could rise to as high as 4,500, @BhramarBioStat told me. Others put it even higher.
