“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality seems like oppression.”. I don’t know who first said this, but it couldn’t be more appropriate.

[ETH Zurich @ETH_en]

Regarding the discussion at #LINO23 in Lindau last week. At ETH, we believe that diversity is crucial: Science always gains from different perspectives. We continue to work towards a diverse and inclusive environment, and know that we still have a ways to go. @lindaunobel

When one is born in a 1st world country, receives excellent & largely free education, with great privilege in being well funded throughout a career & may then carry on researching in 3 countries into their 80s, one should be grateful @lindaunobel⁩ 1/2 https://t.co/Nx1l7qmyvt

[Sandhya Manohar @sandhya_manohar]

I know we’re all mocking this as drivel spouted off by a privileged old white guy, but I hear the same sentiment from younger male faculty/postdocs a lot (albeit said in a slightly less odious way)

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

Women are socialized into the same patriarchal system as men and therefore some women reinforce sexist norms with other women.

[Ruxandra Teslo 🧬 @RuxandraTeslo]

Unironically being in a happy stable relationship has been a great boost to my professional life. I suspect we emphasise too little the role that getting a good partner has in the life of women (for both career and personal reasons)

[Insa Thiele-Eich @astro_insa]

@PernillaWittung @lindaunobel As someone who watched the video and discussion, I wish he would’ve used his privilege of being part of the panel to spare the young scientist from having to be “courageous” in the first place. Keeping silent is part of the problem.

[Katalin Kariko @kkariko]

I am deeply honored to become member of EMBO. Congratulation to all of my newly elected fellow scientists 🎉🎊🎈

[Giles E D Oldroyd 🏳️‍🌈 @gilesedoldroyd]

At the current rate, the world will not see gender parity until 2154, according to the latest @wef Global Gender Gap report. The sector with the worst representation across seniority level? STEM.

We must do better to overcome gender gaps in science. https://t.co/Ys9zrwYowj

"I want to use my position [in EMBO] to inspire young scientists to be resilient in the face of failure, believe in their abilities, and to focus on the things they can make happen...."

[Dr. Birgit Happel @Geldbiografie]

"Frauen gewinnen absolut nichts, wenn sie in dieser Gesellschaft Mutter werden." Auch unser Ranking auf Platz 6 im #GlobalGenderGap Report sieht nur auf 1. Blick gut aus. In Kategorie »Wirtschaftliche Teilhabe + Chancen« sind wir auf Platz 88 zurückgefallen. #aufkostendermütter

[SSP Syndicat suisse des Services Publics @ssp_syndicat]

L'initiative pour un accueil extrafamilial abordable et de bonne qualité a abouti. Les plus de 104000 signatures récoltées démontrent clairement la nécessité de développer ce secteur essentiel, de le rendre accessible à toutes les familles et d'améliorer les conditions de travail

[SpeakUpInAcademia @AcademiaSpeak]

We applaud the female junior researcher who - unlike the moderator - found the right words to address the statement. @lindaunobel is now investigating the incident.
We hope @ETH and @Joel_Mesot will clarify that Wüthrich’s statement does not…

Today we’re proud to launch our fifth Ben Barres Spotlight Awards 🎉

[Swiss National Science Foundation @snsf_ch]

The SNSF publishes a literature review presenting measures to strengthen #GenderEquality in #research and #science. The measures aim to increase the share of women, transform the work environment and produce gender-inclusive knowledge. https://t.co/aofwxgeVp6

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Today we remember one of the world's greatest scientists: Marie Skłodowska Curie, who died #OTD in 1934.

Curie was the first person to be awarded the #NobelPrize twice and is still the only person to receive the prize in two different scientific fields.
