One year on, we’ve heard little reaction to our paper conceiving #species as process-bound, historical, and without natural rank. Integrative #taxonomy and #phylogenetics should love the concept; #speciation biology might not, but it could. #evolbio #philbio #philsci #hpbio

Here’s the whole thread by the author. Climate is more important for women and men “workplace climate-which can encompass discrimination, dysfunctional leadership, a feeling of not fitting in” as the main reason for attrition
10/ Second, are faculty’s reasons for leaving gendered? Yes. Women former faculty most often cited climate-related reasons, while men cited professional reasons 📈📉 Women and men former faculty selected work-life balance reasons equally often.
