I was asked by Nature to contribute to a piece on Black women in academia. I discussed stats on Black women professors and the current Black-lash where research funders/unis are rowing back on pledges to tackle anti-Black racism made in 2020. It is up now, open access!
Don’t miss this powerful piece by @Chem_Diva, Monica McLemore, @PaperWhispers and @curly_scientist
“They acknowledged anti-Black racism for a day, posted black squares on their social media, then rowed back on their pledges substantially over the years that followed.”

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.
Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?
Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?
Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?
None of this is coherent.
"We stand with Israel, and recognise her right to self defence in the face of this aggression."
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is addressing the British public after Iran launched missiles towards Israel.
