I've come around to preferring the term "strawchild".

• It de-genders the term (important for some people)
• It evokes the imagery of the kind of loser* who is only willing to engage in battle with children and/or is perhaps prone to striking them
• It conveniently sidesteps the cliche/fatigue associated with invocations of the term "strawman"

* Is this aspect of "strawchild" an instance of failure to elevate the other (i.e. steelman/starman them)? Yes.

Needs to be resurrected. "Autonomous Data" is a way better name (being both cooler and less subject to ambiguity) than either "Solid" or "zero data [application]".

This sentence caught my attention the most because not only was it the opening sentence, but it also outlined the problem that was discussed throughout the rest of the article. As society expands and grows upward electronically, there is more and more e-waste. Since this flow of e-waste is becoming so large, it is being labeled as the world's fastest-growing waste stream. This article then goes on to explain this phenomenon.

The article I linked below goes over the toxicological implications of e-waste and I think it ties in well to the topics covered in this article. It shows how it can affect the health of humans and to which degree.

Shouldn't this parenthetical be written, if anything, as "academics (including students)"?

The authors suggest ways to operationalize a justice framework aimed at improving participation.

New typology identified that conmplements existing frameworks - benefit - allows for assessing existing strategies and identifing gaps.

Wait and see to school investments results in other university communities.

The school investment strategies for neighborhood improvements is a good approach.

Shifting power and policy - likely a frequent point for political disagreement and friction.

There are two additional types of meals that will be needed to clarify this issue. That is, one with a high-fat high-fiber meal, and another with a low-fiber high-carbohydrate meal. Nonetheless, one could argue that, in practice, carbohydrates correlate with fiber.

A film is not less good if the producer was a rapist... but one must consider the effects it has on allowing people to carry on with their normal lives when they have destroyed others'. If a producer who at the same time is a rapist is allowed to continue with his life as if nothing had taken place, the act of rape is normalized.

raises a good question, does liking a work of art imply that you support the artist in every aspect?

The paper suggests that field experiments and intervention studies could offer new insights.

Medical decision making has very specific in rules to protect the rights of the patient. The rules can vary according to a patient's age, marital status, and wether or not they signed a health care proxy document in the first place.

The Long Now Foundation and its views open up a whole chasm of moral, ethical, and legal questions with this 'DeExtinction Movement'. How is genetically engineering endangered species a form of 'genetic rescue'? These species are dying out because of man and man's actions, which is a terrible reflection of the worst part of human nature, but it does not give us the right to clone nature and 'whitewash' all that we have done before. Just because we may have the capacity to do so, does not mean we should. We cannot simply decide that extinction is fine because we can create genetically engineered species in the future to 'make up' for our mistakes. How are we expected to learn from our mistakes if we can simply rewind and start again?

Overall much of the literature regarding electronic mailing lists has been either speculative or anecdotal in nature. In addition, as will be noted later, there has been a tencency to be overly optimistic in reporting the benefits of computer mediated communication. This lack of inquiry into the evolution of electronic mailing lists has left a crticial gap in the social history of academic culture.

pp. 9-10 what she saw as Being interesting about lists:

• POSSIBILITY OF HIDING AND LURKING;
• MINIMAL PERSONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE
• Professor and UG could communicate as "virtual equals"

pp. 8-9 Important statement of potentially radical questions

Today;s scholars are no longer limited to print and conferences if they want to share their work with others. Electronic media liberate text from the technological limitations of paper and the costs of travel. By using computer mediated communication, scholars can communicate with their peers as they never could before. While this is an exciting time, the implications for scholarly communication, the evolition of the knowledge base, and learning behaviors and not yet known. It is important to questions how truly transforming or revliation the impact of computer mediarted communication was for scholarlship as it was beginning to rake root in the academic communitiy. The electronic mailing lists provided the first insight to how a worldwide communication forum could work... Will scholars merely view electronic mailing lists as a more speedy and cost-effective means to distribute information (such as calls for papers) that was traditionally disseminated in print? Or will electronic mailing lists and other forms of computer mediated communication ultimately transform scholarly behavior? Will the need to attend professional conferences cease because the same exchanges can be done via computer?

p. 5

The origin of many of our big questions in Schol Comm (peer review, etc.) can be found in lists:

The origins of these questions began with the early electronic mailing lists.

p. 3

the electronic mailing lists I studied formed the basis of new ideas for the future of scholarly communication.

p. 1 Epigraph

I think that we are in the nascent stages of this. I think that this could be an extraordinarily effective tool for scholarly interchange around the world, as well as personal interchange. We have not yet figured out how to make it work the best possible way. What we are seeing on these discussions lists of [sic][sic] whatever that are, is a kind of groping through the dark to figure out what works and what doesn't work. I just see it in those lights and so I don't get upset about some things that go on. It will all work out one way or another." (history, Professor)

Abstract

The dissertation also considers the implications for higher education and the extent to which electronic mailing lists may change scholarly behaviors.

abstract:

Respondents reported varying degrees of social relationships formed with other participants on electronic mailing lists. These differences in experiences and expectations appeared to be related to the degree to which an individual felt in some way isolated from others, preferred communication styles, professional rank, and time constraints.
