The upcoming #WWNwebinar in collab with @winrepo.bsky.social — All Voices on Stage: Building Inclusive Conference Panels — is just around the corner. We’re honored to feature an international panel of neuroscientists and leaders! Oct 23, 6 PM CECT (Zoom) Register: https://shorturl.at/1wExg

“Women-led papers were more likely to be featured in local outlets than in national, international, or science-specialty media. They appeared more often in liberal-leaning outlets than conservative ones. And coverage of their work carried a more negative tone” www.science.org/content/arti...

When women researchers publish, media attention doesn’t always follow

Men-led papers receive more media coverage than women’s, new study finds

For Nature, women make up around 16% of corresponding authors who submit manuscripts — a percentage unchanged from 2018. Women comprise some 18% of corresponding authors who submit papers to Nature Communications and the Nature-branded research journals. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone

A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.
