"Ik ben gestopt met sorry zeggen als ik niets fout heb gedaan, ga de discussie aan als iemand iets vervelends zegt, hoe ongemakkelijk dat ook voelt, en ik ga niet meer automatisch aan de kant als een man mij als vanzelfsprekend wil passeren op de stoep."

Study finds men ⬆️ research production during Covid but women didn’t.

‘Course women didn’t coz CHILDCARE.

Will universities consider COVID for performance evaluation & promotion? They better do, given all their talk abt #EDI

"Not Just for the Boys is an enjoyable and useful primer on the challenges faced by women in STEM. Donald, an experimental physicist at the University of Cambridge, UK, and a leading authority on gender-equity issues, draws evidence from history, neuroscience and social science to explain why gender bias is rife in STEM."

Over 50 publishing organisations have jointly committed to action on inclusion and diversity. This great initiative from the Royal Society of Chemistry now has a steering committee chaired by Nicola Nugent: https://www.rsc.org/policy-evidence-campaigns/inclusion-diversity/joint-commitment-for-action-inclusion-and-diversity-in-publishing/joint-commitment-steering-committee/

It will hopefully complement and work alongside our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee chaired by Ana Heredia, PhD https://ease.org.uk/communities/special-interest-committees/equity-diversity-and-inclusion-committee/

Thank you @snsf_ch for providing a Flexibility Grant to cover daycare costs for a postdoc in the lab. #EDI

I read many #EDI statements with all the right words but no attempts to repair uninclusive workplaces

Here’s a welcome change: an essay with lots of practical recommendations

One of my favorites? Listening to employees, which isn’t nearly done enough.

Some learning points on implicit bias in medicine and/or genetics from today’s lecture a mini 🧵

1.Implicit bias is unconscious and not under your control

2.labeling someone a ‘problem patient’ often is rooted in implicit bias

This essay is a very well explained summary of research on #childcare and #gender inequalities, including the role of men.

It concludes with recommendations for research, notably on how childcare is influenced by workplaces.

Striking for fair pay and pensions today, so not at a module choice event for students.

Real-terms pay has decreased by 25% since 2009 - already working one day free per week before the current bout of high inflation

Enforced and financially unjustified pension cuts of 35% - very much worse off in retirement

Cuts disproportionately affect early career staff and persons from diverse backgrounds ≠ EDI

Staff working conditions are student learning conditions

There’s so much work being put into EDI initiatives by staff at EMBL-EBI, the Sanger Institute and many other organisations on the Wellcome Genome Campus! It’s an amazing campus to work on and I’m so proud to be part of this.
