Women living with MS – the University of Leeds wants to hear from you! 📣 Researchers are exploring how Multiple Sclerosis affects women’s everyday lives, including physical activity, wellbeing, and quality of life. Take part here: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/EcC0RmX7MX

Congratulations to our MD/PhD student Jonathan who was awarded the presitigious Mr. Robert & Ms. Francine Ruggles Innovation Award from @uoftmedicine.bsky.social based on outstanding research innovation, productivity, and potential impact on his field 🎉🎉🎉 Well deserved!

Manuscripts with women as corresponding authors are less frequently sent out for review at Science. The ones reviewed receive less favorable reviews by both male and female reviewers.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Study of 8M biomed & life science articles finds those led by women spent 7 to 15 days longer in review than those led by men. Over a career, women's papers could spend 350 to 750 additional days in review. Delays could slow promotion, esp to full professor. www.the-scientist.com/women-s-rese...

Peer Review Timelines Show Gender Gap, Large Study Reports

A study of millions of life science papers revealed that manuscripts with women in key authorship roles spent longer between submission and acceptance.
