How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9
Stop funding research (the way you do) Because it is wasteful, unethical and unscientific A thread (1/16)

Dr Jenna Lawson (@Jenna_L_Law) conveyed the loss of biodiversity in rainforests through the powerful use of sound 👂 Her work has featured in the National Museum of Costa Rica as well as exhibitions and festivals in the UK 🇨🇷🇬🇧 Take a listen 🔽 imperial.ac.uk/news/242231/si…
🧵 If reforestation could work anywhere, it's in Brazil's Amazon rainforest. I followed two reforestation projects for 3+ years to find out why it's so hard. Threats at gunpoint, botanical mysteries, here's what I found. 1/ reuters.com/investigates/s…
Confirmed speaker: Dr Cristina Banks-Leite is an Associate Professor in the Dept of Life Sciences at Imperial College London & investigates the causes & consequences of species turnover & extinction in fragmented landscapes of tropical regions. oca2023.com.br
I'd be happy to talk through opportunities to work in my lab!
We're excited to announce a new Fellowship programme in partnership with @BritishCouncil to support the next generation of leading women scientists from South Asia. Find out more and apply ⬇️ ow.ly/mt6X50NAKto
Excited to start working on this project funded by @TurnerKirkTrust combining Complex Systems with Metabolic Theory to uncover intraspecific variation in responses to climate change and habitat loss with @crisbanksleite @PawarLab imperial.ac.uk/news/244237/ec…
Super cool work by Ben Howes! And stay tune, there's more ecology work using complex systems theory in the pipeline!
Pleased to announce that my first PhD chapter has been published in @NatSci_journal showing that species interactions change with deforestation, with the most positive occurring in the most forested areas. @crisbanksleite @MGS_tweets @qmee_cdt onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/nt…
Bom dia. Anunciaremos hoje o aumento das bolsas de graduação, pós-graduação, iniciação científica e Bolsa Permanência, que não tinham reajuste desde o governo Dilma. Um dia importante para nossa educação, pesquisa e ciência. O Brasil voltará a valorizar estudantes e nosso futuro.
We also have a TT3 -Fapesp position open! Come work on our collaborative project on restoration and zoonoses in Brazil @EcoHealthNYC @ClarkUniversity @ufabc @DrFlorSanger scholarshipdb.net/jobs-in-Brazil…

I've read hundreds of books, blogs, and articles on productivity. Most are not even worth your time. But here are some of my all-time favorite quotes, from folks that have really added tons of value: 🧵👇
Non-Native English-speaking researchers must show fluency in English to study their own regions in the Anglo world, but native English-speaking researchers don’t have to show local language fluency to study non-English-speaking regions from the Anglo world. Will never get that.
Great plan from Parent in Science. In the last few months our family had covid, RSV, strep A, flu, croup and multiple colds. Each associated to kids out of school and parents feeling poorly. It's just so hard to advance in science when you're barely hanging on.
Mothers in academia often have to contend with a lack of support for balancing their professional and family responsibilities, which can make it difficult for them to advance in their careers. Let’s unite to make change! bit.ly/international_… #action4STEMMoms @mothersinsci
I'm tired of the hegemony of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. At this point, I think it's actually hampering biodiversity conservation and research. Yes, it helped tremendously in the past. But not anymore. Here's why:
Please retweet. NERC Impact Awards are back this year! The application is very simple (and a great practice for a REF Impact case anyway 😏) . Good luck!
Environmental science can change the world, and that's worth celebrating. If your research has made an impact, enter the 2023 NERC Impact Awards and your team could be awarded up to £20,000. Find out more: orlo.uk/nIKIl #NERCimpact
