Such a timely and important work! 👇
It was an incredible experience to be a part of the ROOT&SHOOT Inclusive Conference Committee (rootandshoot.org). I learned a lot in our discussions. It is always great to connect with like-minded people for an important goal: inclusive scientific environment 🌸

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

Sadly this is not shocking. “Among nearly 35,000 biological scientists who authored their first paper in 2000, women were more likely than men to have stopped publishing after 5, 10 or 20 years. The size of this gender gap varies between disciplines.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields
Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

Today at #PAG32, @kcox-bioguy.bsky.social used a great and unique analogy comparing spatial biology with LEGOs! Just like LEGOs, spatial biology involves assembling pieces to build a complete picture of life’s architecture.
