Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The iDiv Female Scientists initiative shows how workplace culture shapes gender equity in academia. Supportive spaces invite change from the ground up — where that’s missing, top-down action is key. buff.ly/YzP4Whj

How can we fix gender #inequality in #academia in 3 steps? Suggestions from our article in @elife.bsky.social with Gabriella Damasceno, @danielahoss.bsky.social, Alexandra Weyrich, a product of the iDiv Female Scientists initiative www.idiv.de/striving-for... elifesciences.org/articles/105...
