Bottom line: Economics seminar culture isn’t gender-neutral.

In elite research settings, women face systematically different treatment that could affect their evaluation, visibility, and career trajectories.

Here’s what they found:

Women are interrupted more often than men—by about 10–20% in economics seminars.

Those interruptions are more likely to:
- Cut women off mid-sentence
- Come from men
- Be adversarial rather than clarifying in nature

My outstanding postdoc is looking for a research job in Albany, NY. Please forward all leads and RT!

Please stop saying the bill allows "no more multi-year funding" - or at least be clear the 'more' is in reference to disastrous FY25 levels.

The bill allows 39% MYF, same as in FY25, which contributed substantially to a 24% drop in new research.

The bill has some wins. MYF is not one of them.

It’s announcement day!📣 I am greatly honored to receive the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science🎉 I will be even more strongly committed to supporting the next generation of immigrant scientists.

Here is the official announcement. Now more than ever, acknowledging the contributions of immigrants is so important. Thank you @vilcekfoundation.bsky.social, and congrats to my fellow awardees. Can't wait to meet you all.

@takashiakeralab.bsky.social Takashi Akera congratulations!!!!

Oh well, despite the support from luminaries like Jason Locasale, Peter Attia’s career in longevity dies prematurely 🙃

Cilia is one of the few accepted science-y words in the Bee. This gives me joy

I just heard from the recipient of Hilari’s lungs.

I am grateful that Hilari could continue giving of herself and that those gifts live on in someone else who can continue to make a difference in their family and community.

Organ donation saves lives.

What a gift and legacy 💕💕💕

Karolin Luger - Vilcek Foundation Karolin Luger's research led to the capture of a high resolution image of chromatin, resulting in the development of innovative drug treatments for diseases like cancer.

Unquestionably the result of combined effort from all current and former lab members, support from colleagues @CSU and @CU, and support from @hhmi-science.bsky.social and NIH over decades. A heartfelt 🙏 to my nominators and of course @vilcekfoundation.bsky.social.

This is when your innards are reversed like having your heart on the right site. Someone from my high school had this. RIP to him and to the great Catherine O'Hara

I don’t want to read or get invested in the recent release of the Epstein files. I want to remember Renee Good and Alex Pretti and the countless others who had been brutalized by ICE agents.
