🚨 NEW PAPER! 🚨 Being an “internationally successful” scientist depends on English. But what if you also face gender & global inequalities? We show that women from the global South publish the same total # of papers but have 70% fewer in English language. Affecting their career possibilities.

How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

Yes, also science is a tool. It can be used for any political purpose. Marching as if science was "neutral" is neglecting important discussions about the implications of science in war, colonialism. Universities not actively against fascist politics are as dangerous as no science.
