Gebru sent an email to the Brain Women and Allies listserv at Google detailing the pushback she’d gotten on the paper. “You’re not going to have papers that make the company happy all the time and don’t point out problems,” she said. That’s antithetical to what it means to be that kind of researcher.”.

In December, Gebru said she was abruptly fired over an email she sent to the Brain Women and Allies listserv. “We cannot say we believe in diversity, and then ignore the conspicuous absence of many voices from within our walls.”. The departures point to an ongoing conflict between Google management and staff.

Last week, Gebru tweeted that the company had abruptly fired her over an email she sent to the Brain and Women Allies listserv. So I see this as "I'm sorry for how it played out but I'm not sorry for what we did to her yet." 4 — Timnit Gebru (@timnitGebru) December 9, 2020.

When I left my position at Easter Seals , I had seven-plus years of research covering the field of nonprofits online flowing (more like gushing) in daily via email newsletters, listserve digests, etc. After three months, it’s been a cleansing experience (for my Inbox and my brain).

Out of habit, I started off doing the research in my usual ways - posts to listservs, search engine, private emails, and posts to forums. I would fill in the missing pieces and refine with chacha, serach engines, private email, or listserv queries. I got about half dozen or so pretty useful leads.

It’s how my brain works. So feel free to get on our mailing listserv or whatever the real phrase is called and stay in touch. And I want to talk about an experience I had working with an advocacy organization. And the way that I’m going to talk about these case studies is the purpose, the structure, and the outcome of each.
