We are deeply distressed by Russia’s military attacks on Ukraine, and call on academic institutions around the world to open their doors to fleeing students, researchers, and academics, and to uphold collaborations with Russian scholars

"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!
Are you curious about working with ethnographic methods? Check out the video on the UM Ethnography Group, an intra-faculty group of researchers working with different ethnographic methods

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!

„biographies about women who meet Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion are more frequently considered non-notable and nominated for deletion compared to men’s biographies.“ @WikiWomenInRed@jesswade@pneumaticpost
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":
Very happy to share this interview with Kalindi Vora (@chipkalii) for @somatosphere 's #WritingLife series. We discuss her book 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑆𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡, labor markets, and writing with and across multiple methods of inquiry incl. ethnographic, literary analysis, and #feministSTS.
If you haven't already, check out the @somatosphere's #WritingLife series, which offers generative reflections by diverse scholars on the complexities and varieties of (academic) writing practices. somatosphere.net/series/writ…
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 🌿
👇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!
As the first national network of early-career researchers marks its 21st birthday, the founders of Hungary’s Young Academy describe how and why they set up theirs in 2019. go.nature.com/3xRlCTN
This is a great piece on the work & impact of young academies, and I'm extremely happy to be part of both our National @DeJongeAkademie & our local @YAGroningen. It brought me so much joy & insight into different levels of academy functioning. 🤩🤩

Beautiful work! "[...] these organizations rely on voluntary work and usually have a limited number of members - and it is crucial to not encourage junior researchers’ tendencies to work themselves to exhaustion."@GlobalYAcademy@SAYAS_SA@ASSAf_Officialnature.com/articles/d41586-0…
