Discrimination and biases in academia come in different flavours and levels. It’s scary to see and imagine how costly can be to speak out about these issues!
At the end, I think it’s really important to learn what “not to do” from all of our experiences!

[Dr. Nancy Olivieri @DrNancyOlivieri]

Grim and insightful article on #bullying in academia.
This week, its co-author, Dr. Suzanne Täuber, who has spoken out vs discrimination & bullying, was fired at the University of Groningen.

Usually I do not share such 👇🏾posts. But this one particularly resonates with me, and how more often than not colored scientists get treated

[Omar Bashth @OBashth]

As a person of colour too, I would add discrimination and bias to the systemic racism. Wonderful read!

Are you new to writing grants, or want to see some examples of proposals to different private and public agencies?

I’m honoured to receive the inaugural SBME Graduate Outreach Award ☺️ Thanks @SBME_UBC for promoting the importance of #SciComm and STEM outreach in biomedical engineering. #WomenInSTEM

[Janella Schwab @JanellaSchwab]

How can undergraduates make tangible impacts in biotechnology? Our book chapter is out in @Elsevier's "Genomics & the Global Bioeconomy" on the role of @iGEM in propelling responsible research and innovation in #synbio 🧬👋

@Leili_Rohani No, it was not recorded.

[Omar Bashth @OBashth]

It was really nice having you around @EbisuyaMiki - thank you so much for your visit!

[Omar Bashth @OBashth]

It’s my great honour and pleasure to host @EbisuyaMiki for this seminar! See you all soon.

Science is fun, but
Academia.. needs work

[Tanentzapf Lab @TanentzapfLab]

As someone who is a slow thinker I've always thought we in science put too much emphasis on fast thinking, Q&As, chalk talks, thesis exams, many classroom interactions are geared towards rewarding speed. But in science what matters is not who thinks fastest but who thinks deepest

[Omar Bashth @OBashth]

#bias is the word that I love the most when I think about cell biology, but I hate the most when I realise it among #scientists

[Nicolas Rivron @NRivron]

Hi all. The SY-STEM conference
@IMBA_Vienna @IMPvienna invites the next generation of stem cells scientists (talks by First authors and Young PIs) strengthened by keynotes by amazing Kathrin Plath and James Briscoe. Top and creative science 🤯. Join us in person in Vienna!

[Alan Lowe @quantumjot]

Excited to share our new paper using explainable #AI to learn models of complex cell behavior -- including cell competition -- which we can apply to image-based drug screening. Check out the paper here: https://t.co/mdwQLyaezm
