A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”
Women end up doing the academic housework

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No
Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

- Invest in research culture and infrastructure
- Better manage and protect research time
- Develop and retain research support staff
- Constantly fight for the social mission of a university which is to produce knowledge for the sake of knowledge.

Yes! I heard some people haven’t signed because they aren’t a scientist or academic. But this is about all of us.

If you are against harming research participants, sign!

If you want more life-saving treatments, sign!

If you value free speech, sign!

Today I asked AI to summarise an academic paper. The actual results were the opposite to what was hypothesised (and to what others had shown). The AI summary assumed the study had found what everyone else had found. Hot tip: don’t use a stochastic parrot to summarise an outlier paper. #academicsky 🧪

Can you share which AI program you used?

How do you solve a problem like brand advertising...?

Last year @emmaboyland.bsky.social & I had a discussion over breakfast* where we discussed our concerns about the rapidly emerging loophole of food brand ads and lack of a policy approach to address it...

*Can confirm no crumpets were consumed

This is a remarkable letter and everyone should read it.
I can no longer, in good conscience, be a part of or lend any kind of support to what I see as increasingly strenuous efforts to comply with each and every immoral and often illegal directive being sent to the National Institutes of Health from the Executive Office of the President, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (which, as of this writing, is not a duly enacted Department-level unit of the United States Government and does not have a duly appointed and confirmed Secretary-level administrator). Compliance with these directives violates my own morals and ethics and regularly requires me to contemplate behaviors that violate both my Physician’s Professional Oath and my Oath of Federal Service. Furthermore, I do not see those people best positioned to protect NIH and to protect biomedical research offering meaningful resistance or questioning any aspect of these directives in any detailed way. The most common response appears to be to comply as quickly and completely as possible, and to plan ahead for how to comply for any that may be on hold for the time being. I understand the reasons why this might be the position of those making the decisions for the agency, but understanding does not allow me to agree or to capitulate.
