A 2023 study of almost a quarter of a million US academics showed that women are leaving research at much higher rates than men are, and toxic workplaces is the number one reason. What can be done about it? #AcademicChatter #Academia #STEM #sciencejobs theconversation.com/how-your-mon...
How your money is helping subsidise sexism in academia – and what you can do about it
Studies reveal women’s research receives tougher assessment, less funding, fewer prizes and less citation than men’s.

New paper with @ianhussey.bsky.social @taymalsalti.bsky.social @rubenarslan.bsky.social. Most measures are only used once or twice, w/o agreement on gold standards - a serious barrier to cumulative science. that leads to lots of papers without meaningful progress. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Sharing some 'oldies but goodies' in this new space. I've written quite a few pieces for @theconversationus.bsky.social in Australia over the years. Here, I'm going to share a few of my faves!

Most recently, this piece covered our research on gender differences in grant outcomes.
Fewer women receive research grants – but the reasons are more complicated than you'd think
Overall, women receive a smaller share of research funding – but it’s not due to how applications are weighed up. The problem starts with the workforce itself.
