Whether to pursue an academic career may be a personal choice. But when people of certain backgrounds are consistently discouraged from joining & staying in academia, what impact would it have on the quality of our arts & science? @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice

The @NIH will no longer score researchers’ expertise and institutions during grant evaluations, from 2025. Last week, the agency announced that it's moving forward with a plan to overhaul its grant-review system for the first time in years. The agency says the changes will reduce reputational bias, which has led to funding disparities among grant recipients. Here's how we covered the plan in its draft stage last year –

A while ago, one of my junior graduate students dropped by my office, exasperated they said,

I erased my whiteboard and started to list ideas, then I shared it on @X & got more ideas from my peer #professors. I hope this helps others!

[Maggie Hall (she/hers) @hallmargd]

I’m mentoring an awesome post-bacc during her grad school apps.

I’m looking to connect her with non-clinical psychology PhD (neuro area) and/or industry people who are willing to talk with her.

She is trying to decide if clinical psych is the best route for her interests!
