Es ist ein Schlag ins Gesicht von #IchbinHanna, der man vorgeworfen hat, sie würde Stellen „verstopfen“ oder sich auf ihnen „einkuscheln“, jetzt „Spitzenkräften“ ein - Zitat - „Rundum-Sorglos-Paket“ anbieten zu wollen. Wie anders als einen affront soll man das im Mittelbau denn bitte wahrnehmen?

Our paper on type II neuroblasts in beetle brain development is finally out! Many thanks to @elife.bsky.social for the supportive review and publication process.

Differences in size and number of embryonic type II neuroblast lineages correlate with divergent timing of central complex development between beetle and fly
Genetic labeling and molecular analyses characterize the dynamics of embryonic central complex-forming type II neuroblast lineages in Tribolium castaneum.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples.
1. Women are credited less in science than men.

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️
So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?
We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary

Look at this interesting read on the contribution of woman authors to the new field of Developmental Mechanics (i.e. Developmental Biology) based on contributions to the first 50 yrs (1894-1944) of the journal Roux's Archives/ now Development Genes and Evolution.
