In my grad school biological research ethics class the professor said you shouldn’t get authorship on a paper for “just moving test tubes around” and I wanted to strangle this man in front of the class. Motherfucker if the people moving those test tubes don’t show up your precious research doesn’t exist. Are you gonna move the test tubes? No? Then shut the fuck up!

I would turn the argument around: there are people who only move test tubes around? Why don't you integrate them more into the process?

Most professors just want to have dictatorial power over who gets authorship. The priority list is:

  • Themselves

  • Whoever they like and can vaguely justify as first author.

  • Whoever any collaborators firmly say should be on the paper even if they didn't work on it.

  • Anyone else they're forced to put on it through direct pressure.

-students/assistants they want to fuck

  • students/assistants they are plagiarizing from

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
