🚨 NEW PAPER! 🚨 Being an “internationally successful” scientist depends on English. But what if you also face gender & global inequalities? We show that women from the global South publish the same total # of papers but have 70% fewer in English language. Affecting their career possibilities.

How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ
Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

Yes, also science is a tool. It can be used for any political purpose. Marching as if science was "neutral" is neglecting important discussions about the implications of science in war, colonialism. Universities not actively against fascist politics are as dangerous as no science.

There is a teeny tiny very uncharitable part of myself annoyed with the scientists who have suddenly discovered activism because our funding is at stake, none of whom did shit in all the years a handful of us tried to make it less predatory and full of harassers.
