We agree, @WilliamJHague. Improvement in diversity and inclusion practices have been essential in supporting the @Lionesses and para-sport. So, surely diversity & inclusion should form a key part of the future science strategy too? Our response 👇 britishscienceassociation.or…
It’s time to do for science what we did for sport. The next PM must deliver on the promise that Britain will be a scientific superpower: our prosperity depends on it. Read my latest @thetimes column here: bit.ly/3OMbm7e

Here's a link back to the top of this surprisingly long thread for RTing. Pour yourself a coffee and have a read of these two important reports - what else is there to do in August?! teapawt.org/martinrsmith/status/15…
💥Two important reports on UK science policy published today! Here’s what you need to know (along with some GIFs, which you probably don’t need) 🧵

This thread usefully pulls together the evidence for many of the issues I have with the way we allocate funding at the moment. This is why I'm interested in alternative models like that developed by @TheIdeasFund. Time for a #ResearchRevolution @ResChangeNow
Stop funding research (the way you do) Because it is wasteful, unethical and unscientific A thread (1/16)

Wow…. ⁦@NIH⁩ reports that SEVENTY-FIVE PIs have been removed from their grants for “severe or persistent” harassment & 125 barred from peer reviewing future grants. @timeshighered⁩ reports it’s mostly from anonymous hotline tips? sciencemag.org/news/2021/06/…

What fresh hell is this? My employer making someone redundant because their academic research questions authority and mainstream thinking?!?!?! I mean... #NoOneIsRedundant #BoycottLeicester #WeAreTheUniversity

in every aspect of science @erinmaochu: for everyone to be appropriately credited for their contributions to research, and to focus less on economic value in favour of nurturing potentially fantastic ideas @sarahcastell: participatory futures; co-create our future #SciSociety20

43/ next up is @HHHotWheels highlighting the way that the medical model places people with disability within a frame that suggests they are vulnerable, and it misses the point that society is disabling #SciSociety20

"We're all complicit in the publication or perish culture" - says @imrankhan @wellcometrust. Need to shift from a focus on 'dialogue' to a focus on outcomes & to reward / recognize (make space and time for) researchers who are doing meaningful public engagement #SciSociety20

“We recognize that Nature is one of the white institutions that is responsible for bias in research and scholarship. The enterprise of science has been — and remains — complicit in systemic racism” - @nature • Wow. This lightens the load on my heart. ✨🙏🏾✨
We recognize that Nature is one of the white institutions that is responsible for bias in research and scholarship. We commit to working to end anti-Black practices in research. #ShutdownStem go.nature.com/3cSce7c

Strange, whenever the world is in trouble, we suddenly have to "cooperate". The rest of the time, we're all expected to compete, in this global economic system. It's perhaps time to do sth about the logic of the system first.
