An external analysis of 15 years of stories finds men are quoted more than twice as often as women in @Nature's journalism. Very sobering results but great to see that they are keeping track and draw important lessons!

@SchuethAnna@chipkalii Yes, indeed! I must admit I myself can’t write more than scribbled notes in these kinds of spaces, still, I find it intriguing and inspiring to hear of the various strategies people have for finding ways to write.
Another window into writers' working spaces ... @chipkalii: "Like me, I know many people who write while we’re sitting in the car waiting to pick someone up from a sports practice or on an airplane flying to an event. I find the in-between spaces an excellent place to write":
In the latest #WritingLife, Alberto Morales & Kalindi Vora (@chipkalii) discuss interdisciplinarity, vital energy, writing in one's car, & more.#WritingLife examines the craft of writing in the soc studies of med.Edited by @pneumaticpost & @of_anthropology https://t.co/Hs1SC9wWaV

More on the importance of Young Academies: "Most early-career researchers are in a much more precarious position than were previous generations ... By organizing and collaborating on a larger scale, young researchers are making themselves heard." @GlobalYAcademy @MaastrichtYA 🌿
