Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5

#languagebarriers
Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

#Fungi are often classed according to their feeding habits as either feeding on decaying material, like wood, or living in mycorrhizal association with plants.

Francis Martin and Hao Tan reveal that we need to think about this dichotomy as a continuum. www.cell.com/current-biol...
