Among world’s top researchers 10% publish at unrealistic levels, analysis finds www.chemistryworld.com/news/among-w...

🙆‍♀️ Wow, recent data on academic gender gaps in EU's report: - although women obtain more bachelor's degrees - fewer women obtain a doctorate - 1/3 of EU researchers are women - 16% of authorship teams are gender balanced - lower overall funding success for women Way to go!

Literally cannot wait to share this ✨new publication✨ with y’all. doi.org/10.1016/j.bo... Tl;dr. White working-class women’s body image is rooted in appearance norms, rather than appearance ideals (they are conceptually different). Super important to consider intersectionality of class x gender

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a reminder to not close your eyes and turn away from what is happening in the US right now. Fascism is an assault on scientific integrity, knowledge, and innovation. www.chron.com/news/space/a...

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

A new approach to academic publishing: just pour right-wing money into your own vanity journal. “Peer reviewers” paid $500 per review but are not allowed to advise against publishing the article. Wonder who’s on the editorial board… www.importantcontext.news/p/a-new-acad...

Global Collaboration Opportunity: If you are (or know someone) from a country often missed in research, and are interested in a global study on mental health like this one, please write to me! We have many team members in Europe and English-speaking countries, but would love to involve many more!

This is why we should be open about our salaries. The taboo around talking about money hurts us as workers.

"Under my leadership, we have instituted an assessment program where we assess how we assess what we already assessed, using learning outcomes that include all of the buzzwords someone in admin told us were important."

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again www.science.org/content/arti...

"Author order was determined by a tarot reading." 🤌🤌🤌

Here are mine: 1. Avoid acronyms unless they’re *very* widely understood 2. Explain what you’re going to do as early as possible in the application 3. Include a figure that visualizes your project (preferably on the first page) 4. No walls of text, add figures and boxes (at least 1 per page)
