Hot off the press at EMBO Journal. The culmination of several years of work and hopefully useful to people in the field!
BIG Shout-out to Review Commons, who handled the submission. It's a sensible and efficient model and all the journals I like (Society and NFP) are already participating. 🙏

This…article? … is utterly gross. Removing diversity, equity, and inclusion from our goals as scientists leaves the discipline homogeneous, inequitable, and exclusive—the opposite of why I educate and do research with the next generation of scientists.

Amazing video. Highly recommend.

Worm people are the best
C. elegans researchers were early adopters of open science: "The development of common resources and the belief that research findings and mutant strains should be freely shared has propelled worm research to the forefront"

Socioeconomic roots of academic faculty
Tenure-track faculty are up to 25 times more likely to have a parent with a Ph.D. Moreover, this rate nearly doubles at prestigious universities and is stable across the past 50 years.

As a person here on a visa, there are clear signs that my rights won’t be honored (or don’t have rights for that matter), so if you are going to the protest tomorrow, be loud and clear on my behalf. It’s so important that citizens practice their rights and speak truth to power. 🙏

Ohio State just advised all staff and students not to attend the SACNAS (Society for the advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) annual meeting of 6000+ scientists -- which is in Columbus, OH this year! -- saying it may be exclusionary, even though it is open to all.
