As much as I love articles that point out the fact that #STEM isn't actually a #Meritocracy, I am bothered by the fact that a 2007 report NEEDED to say that "Women have the innate ability as well as the drive to succeed in science and engineering careers" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
The Myth of Meritocracy in the Pharmaceutical Sciences

The Myth of Meritocracy in the Pharmaceutical Sciences

I recently came across the phrase “the myth of meritocracy” and was intrigued enough to dig a bit deeper into what this meant. Digging in requires starting

Has anyone kicked their primary PI/mentor/advisor off of their dissertation committee? If so, how did you do it?

Mom: since you have to go into lab on a holiday you get time and a half, right? Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA ha ha no. I don't even get "time" to begin with.

If there’s anyone who deserves to be counted right now, it’s the #MeToo monsters. So why not do that next? writes @JessicaValenti as men who harass women & cross boundaries may also be men who later do physical harm; that’s worth warning women about #SDG16 theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Although I thought I'd never leave Europe, I am now having thoughts about applying for teaching TT positions in the US (because publications don't matter that much in those positions). Any advice? @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

What recourse is there when an unethical study get past IRB? What changes to IRB review procedures are necessary? Why it is NOT ok to just have this single PI to adjust the current study? #UCLA #IRB #PhDLife #science #postdoclife #academia #leotard docs.google.com/document/d/1…

I am happy to say that we worked hard with Congress to include some more instructive language aimed at increasing accountability and transparency from the NIH on this issue. That language was passed in the omnibus last month.

@sherrymarts tells @jocelynkaiser I took it to the head of the laboratory, who told me to just deal with it. I took it to the chair of the department, who said he didn’t want to hear about it. Then I thought, If I take this to the dean, it’s going nowhere. asbmb.org/asbmb-today/policy…
