👩‍🔬 Early-career researchers (ECRs):
✨ Put higher importance on open science than the more senior counterparts
😟 Feel they lack knowledge & fear making mistakes

🧑‍🏫 More senior researchers:
📈 Highlight increased workload
💸 Point to weak incentives

New research by Dr. Toni Schmader and her team offers insight into why women remain underrepresented in STEM: the persistent belief that men and women are “naturally” interested in different kinds of work. More: psych.ubc.ca/news/nature-...

I will never not be excited that past-Charlotte spent so much time on the preregistration, because now I already have half a method section written without having worked on the manuscript at all!

Personal opinion: description of anything in the method section should not be shortened and put in supp. These are the crucial details that make it transparent and facilitate replication.

Zum Abschluss des Tages noch ein Gedanke, der mich seit Monaten begleitet:
In den letzten 12 Monaten durfte ich mit vielen tollen Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen arbeiten.

Und dabei ist mir eines immer wieder aufgefallen:
Viele wollen rennen, bevor sie laufen können.

Thanks to the @agrigambling.bsky.social for organizing their incredibly stimulating annual conference in Banff. It is inspiring to see all the research that is conducted in our field and to meet all those brilliant researchers. Keep up the great work.

This is a really important piece for every scientist (right now especially in Canada). Give it a read!

Dr. Catharine Winstanley and Dr. Liisa Galea on why DEI is in everyone’s best interest:

"For decades, most biomedical research used only male subjects, particularly if model systems like cells or rodents were involved." 🧵⬇️

The Tyee @thetyee.ca · Apr 10

If elected, Poilievre’s government will “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and federal funds for university research.”

The phrase is almost identical to wording used by the Trump administration.
