I finally made my move from Twitter! Just to highlight the first European Red List of Insect Taxonomists: https://blog.pensoft.net/2022/12/15/experts-in-insect-taxonomy-threatened-by-extinction-reveals-the-first-european-red-list-of-taxonomists/

Do you know a developmental or stem biology post-doc looking to apply for their first independent academic position in 2023?
Then let them know about @Dev_journal Pathway to Independence Programme:
Jusqu'ici tout va bien
"O universo de docentes e investigadores com contratos temporários - alguns assinados de semestre a semestre - é cada vez mais expressivo e tem vindo a aumentar gradualmente desde 2007, segundo o estudo Regime Jurídico das Instituições de Ensino Superior (2007-2022) - Contributos para uma revisão fundamentada, encomendado pelo Sindicato Nacional do Ensino Superior (SNESup)."
Universities often announce increases in faculty diversity; how is that adding up? 🧵
In a new analysis of US federal data in Nature Human Behavioir with @NeilLewisJr & @HopesPsychology@twitter.com, we show that the U.S. is not succeeding in diversifying faculty.
We also (1) analyze whether the pipeline analogy is helping or hurting and (2) compute what it would take to achieve faculty parity in our lifetime.

Hello world!
I have been studying cilia since 2005, been modestly active on Twitter since 2014 and will be posting about anything related to #cilia, #signaling, #BardetBiedlSyndrome
@neurophysics Thanks!

"Recognize that patience is a luxury of the majority. Those in the majority who are not overly burdened by DEIB barriers have the privilege to wait for change [4]. Unfortunately, that is not the reality for those in the minority. Try addressing this by brainstorming solutions for both the immediate and distant future."

"William Hogarth’s Satire on False Perspective (1754), engraved by Luke Sullivan, offers an Escher-like array of impossible lines and vanishing points: a man lights his pipe from a distant candle; a flock of sheep grow bigger as they recede round a corner; a foreground flag disappears behind a distant tree, and many more."
@clathrin A good resource is the Early Evidence Base that @tlemberger and his team at #EMBO put together. It's a database for reviewed preprints - including but not limited to @ReviewCommons (also @eLife PCI and others). A cool aspect is they are building it to including information about the peer review process of the preprints at each platform (solicited, editorially curated, etc)
We spent quite some time discussing a proposal for citation format for preprints with reviews. #RecognizingPreprintReview
We need to know: @Odedrechavi did you have the croissant?
