We support and proud of the work that our student along with our faculty member & coauthors are doing. We believe such work should be judged on its academic merits and not be part of social media polemics. Talent & academic excellence do not await academic seniority. -EECS MIT

We support & are proud of the work that our student along with our faculty member & coauthors are doing. We believe such work should be judged on its academic merits and not be part of social media polemics. Talent & academic excellence do not await academic seniority.
Senior scientist work hard & write hundreds of papers to earn recognition.
Social media & preprint servers are turning a model successful for hundreds of years up-side-down.
Compare data reported by Google Scholar before dismissing giants like John Ioannidis. Shame on MIT.
