As @thelabandfield.bsky.social noted, chatGPT learned some about gender from 4.0 to 5.5. 😅
Dr Alex Bond@thelabandfield.bsky.social · 2mo agoHow would you like your binary gender inferred during pride month? With ChatGPT? Coming right up. What a fucking joke. Happy Pride!
Only took the first week of Pride Month to see @nature.com publish an article assigning binary genders using ChatGPT to authors. 🙃 In our queer opinion, could we not? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
First and last authors more likely to be men in leading science journals
Women’s participation in science has risen sharply, but a Nature Index analysis finds that gender gaps in first and last authorship — markers of key scientific achievements — have barely shifted over ...

Happy Pride Month!!
Dr Alex Bond@thelabandfield.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's 13 years that I've been shouty about queer folks in STEM. It's amazing how much we've achieved, and how much we've lost (especially in recent years). If you're after some Pride Month reading, here's a compilation from the archive labandfield.wordpress.com/queer-in-stem/

Our second plenary speaker is Priya Silverstein @priyasilverstein.com !! They are an assistant researcher at University of Coimbra, and a scientific rock star!
The LGBTQ+ STEMinar has been away for a few years, but it's back on November 6th 2026! If you identify as LGBTQ+ and you would like to talk about your science, go apply! (anyone can attend)
Michael Armstrong@medialator.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt's at Queen Mary - 6th November. sites.google.com/view/lgbtqst... Sadly clashes with another conference I am speaking at!
10 years ago I attended my first LGBTQ+ STEMinar and realised what I'd be missing for years without even knowing it: a sense of community. I never looked back. If you're queer, in STEM, and in the UK, I strongly recommend going.

It is shameful that the #MaddoxPrize shortlist includes an 'activist' who calls trans people ‘damaged’ and a ‘huge problem in a sane world' and stated that the NHS Rainbow scheme is worse than Andrew Tate. Here is our statement: prideinstem.org/2023/10/24/p...
