Very proud of the special issue of Animal Behaviour I worked on with @wascherclaudia.bsky.social and @nicolakoyama.bsky.social on addressing biases in animal behaviour. Thanks to all authors- plenty of cool papers to read. Here's our editorial: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @asab.org

Excellent article by David Banos, trans people have every right to be skeptical of research, seeing how we are treated unethically again and again, in studies which are then used to further medicalize us.

Neuroscience in Chile, and across Latin America, does not lack talent or ideas, but the systems that make science visible—prestige journals, conferences and networks—increasingly price its researchers out, argues @medelero.bsky.social. #neuroskyence
Scientific talent is global. Access is not.

Thanks to @forbetterscience.bsky.social for reporting on the Waehre case and the further link to the Cass report. The TL;DR is that Wæhre collected data on trans kids without consent, and send it to Cass to support her claim of an increase in AFAB kids identifying as trans as a sort of fashion

I realised there was a part of chronic illness that I'd never actually written about. Not the grief or the isolation. But the experience of living inside a body that feels so unpredictable and unsafe. Now I’ve written it. I’d love to know if it resonates with you.
The Burden of Chronic Illness That I Rarely Talk About
Being ill is hard. What an obvious thing to say – and yet how often it goes unspoken. I’ve written about many aspects of life with long-term illness: from the grief of dreams shat…

What if we thought about #underrepresentation in #neuroscience the way public health thinks about the social determinants of health — not as a property of individuals, but as a product of the conditions they navigate? That's the argument at the heart of our new essay in @thetransmitter.bsky.social
Redefining underrepresentation in global neuroscience
Shifting the focus of equity initiatives from identity categories to structural barriers can reveal overlooked challenges and increase global support.

Having read through some of it (still need to find the time to read through the full document), it is one of the most thoughtfully written documents of its type. It points out the societal influence on healthcare, specifically noting discrimination can cause regret (as Turban found too).

Good perspective from @network-alba.bsky.social, arguing we should look at barriers rather than demographic categories when thinking of underrepresentation.
