"Writing Life" focuses on the craft of writing in the social studies of medicine. We invite scholars to reflect, in conversation with each other, on navigating and nurturing their craft. Please contact Anna Harris @pneumaticpost or Denielle Elliott @of_anthropology to contribute!

An external analysis of 15 years of stories finds men are quoted more than twice as often as women in @Nature's journalism. Very sobering results but great to see that they are keeping track and draw important lessons! nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Another window into writers' working spaces ... @chipkalii: "Like me, I know many people who write while we’re sitting in the car waiting to pick someone up from a sports practice or on an airplane flying to an event. I find the in-between spaces an excellent place to write":

More on the importance of Young Academies: "Most early-career researchers are in a much more precarious position than were previous generations ... By organizing and collaborating on a larger scale, young researchers are making themselves heard." @GlobalYAcademy @MaastrichtYA 🌿

A global movement of younger researchers is making its mark. Science must listen and learn from its next generation. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

👇On Young Academies: "These organizations can also promote successful, diverse role models and increase the visibility of research done by under-represented groups to make science more inclusive and more attractive to the public". @GlobalYAcademy shows the way this can be done!
