Embarrassing

UPDATED: Ono spent much of the meeting dodging direct answers. When pressed on Covid mandates — with the questioner pointing out that as an immunologist, he must have an opinion — he answered: “I’m a mouse doctor. I’m a test tube kind of guy.” www.chronicle.com/article/stat...

No, it really is.

noisybrooklyn1.bsky.social•16 days ago

I just… ugh.

itsabig.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’m a say absolutely anything to get a job guy

triplingual.bsky.social•16 days ago

Really only for all of us who have to live through it, though. He's clearly had a shamectomy.

msappel.bsky.social•16 days ago

There's a name for a mouse doctor: veterinarian.

He is not one.

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

And still didn't get the job. You are an IMMUNOLOGIST who is pretending to be a vaccine skeptic and they still won't give you the job. What if we instead decide to fight for things we believe in rather than debasing ourselves?

drconstance.bsky.social•16 days ago

Making 1 million already 🥴

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

ALREADY

drconstance.bsky.social•16 days ago

What’s the marginal extra dollar worth vis a vis tau and his integrity smh

jwhitmore.bsky.social•16 days ago

This part!!! A whole entire Immunologist that was afraid to answer questions he is an expert in because he knew he couldn't win on intelligence/merit with a crowd void of substance/knowledge.

He sold his soul, dignity, and reputation just to be labeled a failed DEI UF candidate in the end.

The first thing I typed was really ugly lmao. Poor lil tink tink

akarra.bsky.social•16 days ago

i'm really torn by how many people can't see beyond rank careerism. a lot of the people running for president absolutely cannot!

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

We have crafted this job to be one that celebrates people with these types of motivations and it doesn't seem like a wise decision

There’s a whole monograph in this skeet

akarra.bsky.social•16 days ago

i was looking over the wikipedia article for one of those think tank heads today -- this dude from AEI who wouldn't admit that yes, social services do work. guy's whole career is just nice titles and credentials for a CV. what work does he do? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Doar

I would not show my face ever again in either the academic speciality or my fellow Uni administrators ever again. EVER.

jenebbeler.bsky.social•16 days ago

The last sentence of the Chronicle article… OMG.

But also, if I am being “grilled about my beliefs” in an academic job interview…??!

formertwtruser.bsky.social•16 days ago

This is so shameful.

dcollier74.bsky.social•16 days ago

I don't really root for many people to fail like this but that OpEd helped me want to see this

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

That oped... just... it will go down in history

dcollier74.bsky.social•16 days ago

It will go down in the anals of history of failed right wing grifting for sure...

*Yes I spelled everything right in this, no accidents.

Anyways welcome to faculty at Michigan Ono!

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh no he quit at Michigan last month

dcollier74.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh... Right! Hahaha

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

Simply amazing

isabelott.bsky.social•16 days ago

“a mouse doctor” were the mice consulted on this

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

The mice out here requesting a second opinion

isabelott.bsky.social•16 days ago

Truly. Vaccine science is about as securely evidence-backed as it gets. I would skitter my little paws along elsewhere if *my* mouse doctor wasn’t willing to go to bat for them, frankly

isabelott.bsky.social•16 days ago

good LORD https://bsky.app/profile/hockeybear.space/post/3lqqmhlebyk2e

thelasttheorist.bsky.social•16 days ago

Imagine selling out so hard and failing.

nml-dc.bsky.social•16 days ago

LOVE this for him lol

bakerdphd.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hate what's coming at UF but most definitely love this for him
