I very much disagree with this. I participated in ML1, ML2, RRR Schooler, RRR Finkel, RP:P, & Many Analysts as a beginning PhD student with no connections. I found out about them usually on twitter or on facebook. The projects were really inclusive, not at all an "old boys" club.

We have a lot of systematic problems in the discipline. I wanted to address your characterization of the projects, which was very unfair for the project leaders. There were also other ways how to find out about the projects (OSF Google group).

I am never entirely sure on twitter. :) But, I was reading '"old boys' club"' & '"usual suspects" feeling', which seemed unfair to me given the inclusivity of the projects – I was helping with parts of RP:P while still doing my master's degree with zero connections in the field.

Regarding inclusivity of twitter and fb – I don't think they are ideal, but usual communication channels, for which you have to pay (conferences, society mailing lists), are much worse.

I dunno what your exact angle is here, Stepan — but the fact that science is structured hierarchically, forming a pyramid, and (as Danielle has said) certain ppl are powerful/at the top (an obvious byproduct of the previous point) is not in any way a controversial/rare opinion.

We pretty much all agree science is like this and I can assure you people at the top don't need defending from anything said in this thread as it is not slanderous... it is in fact an accepted issue within science.https://twitter.com/ProfData/status/1024283293120974849 …
