Whatever you’re offering as an in intervention whether big or small in the MAR world if it doesn’t tick one of these then it’s unnecessary especially if it comes with a fee to pay.

Ticking these requires evidence not a claim.

Thanks

Hi everyone, anyone aware of universities accepting researchers to do PhDs by publications (retrospective)? @academic-chatter.bsky.social

4/4- We envision a future with women in space, but not on symbolic terms—on equal ones.
Visibility means nothing if it’s not grounded in equity, merit, and breaking down the systems that keep power out of reach.
Otherwise, it’s just capitalism wrapped in a spacesuit.

3-True representation isn’t about who gets to orbit the Earth—it’s about whose lives are valued on it.

Omar Ammar @omarammar.bsky.social · Apr 15

2-The story of women in space has always been one of resilience, from Valentina Tereshkova to Mae Jemison, who carved out space for themselves against the odds. But even now, access to space is still shaped by race, class, and geography.

1-Instead of pushing for equity in science and access to space, this trip risks turning a powerful symbol into a hollow performance. It follows a familiar script: elite women are put on display as signs of “progress” while the women most impacted by systemic barriers remain shut out.

3/3 We are trying to build an academic community that’s kind and respectful where we refuse to define people or harm them.

Your standards and views will never fit the whole spectrum.

In other words, we need to chill.

2/3 Labeling others strips them of their dignity, hinders progression, and makes moving on even harder especially within smaller fields.

Omar Ammar @omarammar.bsky.social · Feb 21

1/3 Not to preach or to get a few clicks (not needed I guess) but am sure many will relate!

When we make broad judgments about a person’s character, we can trigger shame—and shame pushes people away from connection and collaboration into self-protection.

Thanks Gilbert. For Publications already did that on ORCID.

Re degrees, in case am applying for a job or work visa last name on my passport will be different from the one on the degree certificate, should I issue new degrees with the name change?

Omar Ammar @omarammar.bsky.social · Jan 4

Hi everyone, my last name might change due to Iraqi national registry issue. I have a question, if my family name changes what happens to my university degrees and publications? Do I need to issue new ones? @academic-chatter.bsky.social #academicbsky

Me: finished presenting
Senior med: this type of research is useless for practice due to a 3 mins long statement…
Me: is there any specific Q or you want me to comment on this statement?
