#bioGUNE_Research |🧠 Astrocytes release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that help neurons resist Alzheimer’s stress by boosting protein synthesis & synaptic health

Even though, for each manuscript, time under review is only 7–15 days longer for female- than for male-authored articles (Fig 2), accumulated over a woman’s career, these delays can be very substantial. For instance, for every 50 papers published by a female author, she will have spent on average 350–750 days longer than her male counterparts waiting for reviews and editorial decisions and/or revising manuscripts.
"Biomedical and life science articles by female researchers spend longer under review" from @plosbiology.org. After I read this sentence, I counted & I have 43 papers w/ a female first and/or last author. Lots of time wasted in longer reviews/revisions. 😕

Very much looking forward to participate and celebrate with this excellent group of people.

Prof. Bo Peng’s work is truly inspiring. His research on microglia replacement shows how fundamental neuroimmunology can be translated into real clinical impact. I listened to the seminar on my way to the clinic this morning and was very glad to be introduced to his work.👏🏻
