📢 Curvenote Hires @mikemorrison to help redesign science communication

Mike is the founder of the #betterposter movement and has helped millions of researchers improve poster presentations. All of us Curvenote are excited to see what Mike can do when he has a team behind his designs. What comes next is #betterpaper's and #betterscience. 🚀

The new advice of @Nature about #RaceAndEthnicity is "also meant to keep research from inadvertently perpetuating harm, and to avoid creating more negative experiences for people for whom #racism is a daily lived reality."

Everybody in academia can work towards a diverse and sustainable research culture.

See our calls to action to see how.

Did you know? You can get the #betterscience poster as PDF here: https://betterscience.ch/en/calls-to-action/#/

Which call is most important in your work?

I know I am a privileged scientist in a very privileged country 🇨🇭. This (see picture) is something I need to remind myself of regularly. Thanks to the @BetterScienceCH team for helping us to shape a better academic community at @unibern!

Very happy to share with you the news that I was elected as Vice-Rector to the Executive Board of the @unibern. #EngagedUniversity #BetterScience #equalopportunities #SustainabilityScience #impact https://twitter.com/unibern/status/1603362996906082304

An important innovation in life-science publishing: Sex or gender must be properly addressed in all articles published in @ajpheartcirc! Congrats to the editorial board!

This "Chalk Talks Only" workshop on "Theory across Biology" is a truly original initiative by @betowbin and colleagues. I hope it will be a great success and become the start of a series at @unibern .

I am still working on identifying how #SwissScience has been/is influenced by discrimination and #ColonialismInScience, not to say #RacismInScience. I am convinced there is room for doing better. These short @NaturePortfolio articles are clearly helping. #BetterScience.

#Introduction #Mastodon

My academic life is split in:

1) Vice-Rector for Research @unibern since 1.1.22. Working on making UniBe a place where everyone can spend time asking big and small questions about the world. #BetterScience

2) PI at the Inst. of Biochemistry & Molecular Medicine. Our group is fascinated by #IonChannels & #Channelopathies.

3) Being a voice for the many scientists from less privileged parts of the world, particularly the ones from the African continent. #ScienceInAfrica
