My first @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social meeting was fantastic! New and old friends and colleagues, great science and a lot of fun! I co-led a workshop on publishing for ECRs, presented a talk on my lab’s latest work and received the editorial fellowship💜. Thanks ESA!

Yes! Come talk to me about publishing in the Bulletin of the ESA! Have an essay or an op-ed about ecology burning inside you or on your computer? Send it my way! A poem? Pictures depicting ecology? Papers on ecology education? We take them all! Find me at #ESA2025 and ask me anything!

What blew my mind away, though, is that #ICCB2025 offered LIVE, REAL-TIME English transcription/translation services for their oral presentations via their conference app. That's truly unbelievable! 🤯 (8/10)

Tatsuya Amano @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social · Jun 15

So amazing to see #ICCB2025 has kicked off and our language accessibility measures have been described.
Live English transcription & translation into 60 languages is working properly. 39 people has already used it in 10 languages. If you are at #ICCB2025, please give it a try!

This effort has been spearheaded by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social. If you're a native speaker or already fluent in English, you might not consider your English proficiency a privilege, but it actually is. Being non-fluent in English comes w/ many disadvantages, as shown👇 (tinyurl.com/yc4nm8he). (2/10)

Fig 5 from the PLOS Biology paper Amano et al. (2023)

Figure title: Estimated disadvantages for non-native English speakers when conducting different scientific activities.

Figure description provided in the Amano et al. paper: The height of hurdles indicates the relative length of time taken to read an English-language paper (Reading), to write a paper in English (Writing), and to prepare an oral presentation in English (Presentation), and the relative frequency of an English-language paper being rejected (Paper rejection) or requested to revise (Paper revision) due to English writing, for non-native English speakers (Non-native), compared to native English speakers (Native). The values are for non-native English speakers who have published only one English-language paper (higher value from moderate and low English proficiency nationalities), compared to the values for native English speakers. This figure is not intended to suggest that science is a race.

It's a summer conference season, so I thought I'd tell you about the tremendous efforts our conservation biology colleagues have been making to make conferences more INCLUSIVE & friendly to early career researchers (ECRs) not fluent in English. I find their accomplishments truly inspiring. 🧵(1/10)
