From the article... "Women are more likely to discuss authorship with co-authors at the beginning of the project while men are more likely to do so once a manuscript is ready to submit as well as deciding authorship positions without team consultation." - we reccomend a read!
Global survey of more than 5000 scientists finds that women often feel that they receive less recognition for their work than they deserve ow.ly/ckyJ50G67p9

Woke early so watched #PictureaScientist. What a sobering and brilliantly told story story of sexual harassment within STEM - but ultimately heartening because things are slowly changing. Congrats @PictureaSciFilm
Just watched the documentary #PictureAScientist. Infuriating, emboldening and extremely candid, if you get the opportunity to watch, I would HIGHLY recommend
