True story: At ICLR this year, I went up to a poster by someone I met the previous day, and had to ask him thrice about his poster, before he actually gave me his pitch. He seemed more interested in chitchat. Many more stories, but c'mon - minorities can also talk research!https://twitter.com/MaartenSap/status/1018287668772233217 …
A drunk guy aggressively hit on me yesterday at the reception. asked if I was here alone and didn't know anybody and wanted some company. It was funny to see when I said I was a professor. But also remembered the time when this was true and how uncomfortable I was then
Ughh I'm so sorry to hear that, but I can totally see that happening no matter how far ahead a woman goes. We talk a lot about fairness and ethics, but how is that supposed to reflect in our research, if we cannot even be respectful to our fellow scientists?
So sorry to hear this! If you know his name you can contact Barbara Engelhardt who is the diversity chair for ICML.
I didn't get his name. The poor kid was terrified when he found out that I was a professor and apologized profusely. He kept saying I didn't look like a professor (yeah.. I don't fit the stereotype). Later it hit me how differently I felt back when I was a student
Well, here is another side of another story happened in the same reception dinner.. Scheduled and planned a meeting with a lady researcher to ask if she is interested in industrial research. She preferred internship. Explained her that internship cycles for this year r over 1/2
But will definitely check with my HR still and later msged my email to share her CV. Never uttered a single word outside research/work.. Got a response from her that as I didn't have any open internship or job offers, I had been unprofessional. Not sure what to say here..
