Women make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM

We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone!

Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone

A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.

The death toll from Russia’s Palm Sunday ballistic missile attack on Sumy is now 32 killed, including 2 children, and 99 people injured, of which 11 are children, according to the state emergency service of Ukraine.

Russia just killed dozens of Ukrainians in a missile strike on Palm Sunday, a day after Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff met Putin, shook hands and posed for cameras. Witkoff visited an Orthodox Christian cathedral. Today church-goers were targeted.

This is what “partial ceasefire” in the sphere of energy looks like in reality: #Russia may target #Ukraine’s power plants less frequently — but has doubled down on killing Ukrainians, including children. A week ago, it struck Kryvyi Rih; this time, it’s Sumy.

This morning, Russian cruelty struck again, killing men, women and children in the city of Sumy.

A barbaric attack, made even more vile as people gathered peacefully to celebrate Palm Sunday.
