    zeynep tufekci Retweeted Massimo Pigliucci

    This isn't right because for many women and minorities, adding that PhD is less of a choice than for others and a very different trade-off.https://twitter.com/mpigliucci/status/925701601133826048 …

    Beware of people who add “PhD” after their name. Or self-describe on social media as “eminent scholar.”

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Lisa Simpson's REAL Magic Bear-Repelling Rock

        Yep. Similar issues with blanket "don't go to grad school" advice. The trade-offs depend on your location in life.https://twitter.com/FERALROBOTS/status/925707184360644608 …

        zeynep tufekci added,

        Lisa Simpson's REAL Magic Bear-Repelling Rock @FERALROBOTS
        It's a double-bind. Sometimes women & PoC add it to force being taken srsly; blanket anti-intellectualism then works against them. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/925703845140942849 …

        I do often wonder if, as a cis white dude, I forgo these kinds of formalities whether I’m signaling that it’s OK to do so for women/POC.

        Ah, the PhD. I was told to take the PhD off of my name and bury the education section in my resume while applying for non-academic jobs.
