The gender gap emerges from the penalisation of motherhood, which fathers do not experience, or to a lesser extent. Therefore, it is not enough to show that a department/institute has as many men than women in faculty positions. Have you asked yourself how many of the men have children vs the women?

Becoming a parent is much more detrimental to women’s academic careers than it is to men’s, lowering their chances of getting university jobs, tenure and reducing their publication output, finds a large analysis of academics in Denmark. go.nature.com/4tcO2Em

Have you ever wondered 🤔... Does phenotypic variance respond to environmental perturbation? Does it have a genetic basis? Are mean and variance regulating loci exposed to different selection pressures? These and more questions are explored in our new preprint 🔥 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New Perspective!🔥It's fascinating how scientists from different fields but interested in the same question [e.g. genotype-phenoytpe relationship] can have such different perspectives. Here we put in our 2 cents wrt genetic effects being context-dependent, and pheno variation being mostly polygenic

Beyond Mendel: a call to revisit the genotype–phenotype map through new experimental paradigms

Abstract. The long-standing notion that genotypes map to phenotypes through simple one gene–one trait relationships continues to shape both research in the

“It used to be global cooling. If you look back years ago in the 1920s and 1930s they said, ‘Global cooling will kill the world,’” Trump said. “Then they said ‘global warming will kill the world.’ But then it started getting cooler … It’s the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Many scholars from historically overexploited countries (often referred to as the global south) expected that exposing the problem would trigger change. Four years on, I see it clearly: the scientific system was never designed for equity,” writes Dolors Armenteras in Nature. #Academicsky 🧪

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.

More evidence to move away from race. Not surprising that self-identified latino ethnicity is a broad mixture of 3 ancestries: European, Native American and African. The history of European colonization in America (i.e. the whole continent), including the slavery trade, left traces in our genes.
