@lynetterussell Ooh! This is my new go-to example of correlation =/= causation, thanks!

What can we do?
See our list of potential solutions (infographic below) and this piece (doi.org/10.1038/s41562…).
We already know the answer – it’s just a matter of individuals, institutions, journals, funders and conferences having the will to implement these solutions.

Is this their own problem?
NO - it's everyone's problem because
Ethnic diversity = higher scientific innovation/impact (doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1…; doi.org/10.1038/s41467…)
Science by non-native English speakers is crucial for tackling global challenges (doi.org/10.1371/journa…)

I have only ever written about or presented my research in English, my first language. It is such a massive(ly unfair) advantage to be able to do so, and to engage with scholars around the world through this medium with so little effort on my part

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

But I don't like the idea of google giving one answer when it can see certain info about who I am, and a different answer when it can't, to a scientific question where there is definite consensus.

Where do questions come from, how are they framed, whose interests do they reflect, what purpose do they fulfill, what knowledge do they contribute to, what’s their accountability back to communities? Important Qs re research sovereignty from Linda Tuhiwai Smith #Lowitja2023

@AliceRGaby Hi Alice! So sorry to hear about this. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hi, hello! If you've been wondering what I've been up to this month:
May 1:🚲heading off to give a talk at Melb Uni. Excited to meet CogSci colleagues and talk about stuff that has been niggling at the back of my mind, but outside my usual presentation topics
English
@AliceRGaby Oh no! Sorry to hear this, Alice. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
English
@DrLauraSKh Exactly. So hard to put into words because it's nothing I didn't already know, but there's a huge gulf between knowing and experiencing (to the very limited extent I have experience)
English
@AliceRGaby Yep, it's incredible how our perspective changes when we experience inaccessibility first hand!
English
@Gabriel20831229 Thanks Gabriela! It's already so exciting to make very small improvements
English
@AliceRGaby Oh no, Alice! I hope you feel stronger every day and recover completely very soon!!!
English
@DrLauraSKh Thanks Laura! It's been a slog, but also very eye-opening
English
@AliceRGaby Goodness me, what a rough trot! Wishing you a smooth recovery from here!
