A very nice statement from EGU outlining the union's commitment to diversity and the actions and initiatives they've taken in support of equality, diversity and inclusion. It's a nice long list when you write it all out! www.egu.eu/news/1259/eg...

EGU celebrates the diversity of people needed to create truly outstanding science

The Union restates our support for a geoscience community that is diverse as an essential feature of conducting cutting edge, innovative science research. In order to support this, we share a list of ...

“‘It’s very easy to assume that science is going to change organically towards equality — and what this study shows is that that’s not happening…It is an ‘important reminder for us that we need to stay vigilant in working towards equality in science’” @crsugimoto.bsky.social 🧪 #AcademicSky 👩🏽‍🔬

Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields

Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

Racial differences in community college faculty and staff capacity to foster a sense of belonging for diverse student populations and provide cultural adjustment support for intl and immigrant students reveal need for diversity in faculty, staff and leadership www.ccdaily.com/2024/11/supp...

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

This approach has a well-known consequence: it's called the minority tax that faculty of color often face as we're called upon to address inequities in the larger system. I just want to make sure we don't keep adding to that tax. 4/4. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

The burden of service for faculty of color to achieve diversity and inclusion: the minority tax

The exclusion of Blacks/African-Americans, Latinx/Hispanics, and Indigenous people from science has resulted in their underrepresentation in the biomedical workforce, especially in academia. Faculty d...

New study on graduate student mental health: "receiving overly harsh criticism or being scolded by a research mentor, and being held to unreasonable expectations were two of the most detrimental aspects of research affecting student mental health." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"I think my least favorite thing in life is to be called “resilient,” because it means that people only see me through the lens of difficulty. They love the idea that I am resilient, but they don’t actually care about any of the things that made me resilient." www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Only 1 percent of neuroscience faculty is Black. Kaela Singleton hopes to change that.

Whatever you do, don’t call the Black in Neuro founder “resilient.”

The differential treatment of URM women in a study of promotion and tenure decisions in US academia was mitigated when external reviewers highlighted candidates’ scholarship more in their review letters (Masters-Waage et al. 2024)

Underrepresented minority faculty in the USA face a double standard in promotion & tenure decisions, with more negative votes, lower chance of receiving unanimous votes and harsher evaluation of scholarly productivity. URM women experience largest double standards. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Faculty mentoring in academic institutions, a thread. As I advance in my academic career (read: as I keep getting more gray hair), I've come to appreciate, even more than before, the profound responsibility we (senior-ish faculty) have to support and nurture emerging talent, not diminish it.

“I think the most important aspect of the course is that people do it together as a team,” Dr. Schneider said. “Coming together as a team and working through those debrief sessions is going to really cement what they learned and we hope build team trust and community collaboration going forward.”
