How to be brave — 500 Women Scientists What does everyday bravery look like? How can we take strength and inspiration from ordinary people doing incredibly brave things? Think about what it takes for folks like high school teachers and...

Scientists - its time to be brave! We must stand firm in our commitment to rigor, to push back against further politicization of our work, to call out pseudoscience, and to ensure science is truly serving the public good. 500womenscientists.org/updates/2025...

Western complicity in Israel’s mass extermination campaign against civilian population of Palestine is a crime we will never be forgiven for.

I recognize this is an exceedingly difficult time and for many of you this is a crisis on several levels. I respect those challenges and I don't consider press rights superior to the rights of others. However, all other rights depend on press rights. We cannot allow them to be chilled. This was explained by civil rights icon and longtime congressmember John Lewis: "If it hadn't been for the media, for brave, courageous journalists, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings." Democracy cannot function without an informed public. The public cannot be informed without a free press. It is your shared responsibility to ensure press are able to do their job. Several of you have been supportive over the years and I thank you for that. But your support is now needed more than ever. Please ensure your teams are aware of these egregious violations and ensure you take all possible steps to protect the press, and thereby the public and our country itself. Sincerely, Adam Rose Press Rights Chair Los Angeles Press Club

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

The nicely illustrated report provides an overview on #biodiversity, the seasonal variability, how they interact and respond to a warmer ocean, and how human activities both locally and far away impact life in #Arctic oceans.

The report also has projections on the #Barents Sea conditions in 2050+

We’re Hiring!
I am seeking a Pos-doc Researcher in Molecular Biology and Epigenetics. Join our team @biovitenskap.bsky.social @uio.no to explore how SUMOylation regulates epigenetic fate, gene expression, 3D-genome and chromatin during adipogenesis, with implications for obesity and cancer research.

Kunst og vitenskap: Følelser mot harde fakta – eller to sider av samme sak? - Titan.uio.no Hva skjer når kunstnere og forskere samarbeider? I dag åpner utstillingen som gir noen svar på nettopp det.

En av utstillerne er Jeannette Christensen. Hun hadde et helt konkret mål da hun innledet samarbeidet med #mikrobiolog Dirk Linke fra @biovitenskap.bsky.social

– Jeg jobber med organisk materiale, med gelatin, og på det vokser det #mugg. Det har vært har vært helt utenfor min kontroll, sier hun.

Hot, wet and extreme. That is the status for 2025, and probably for the foreseeable future. But do we care? CICERO presents new research on temperature, extreme weather, emissions, attitudes and adaptation.

Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience to all the kickass #womeninSTEM 🙌💪❤️

One stereotype I love to smash is when people ask who (i.e. which man) is driving our research boat… 😉 I had fun making this reel last year, 5 months pregnant 😎💪

Let’s continue to break barriers together 🫶👊

International Day of Women and Girls in Science | United Nations The purpose of the day is to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science, today February 11th! @un.org
Gender equality in science is crucial for building a better future for all, yet women and girls continue to face systemic barriers and biases in pursuing scientific careers.
