Over at @eLife, we’re eliminating accept/reject decisions and relinquishing the traditional journal role of gatekeeper. This new model is our move towards a fairer system that helps researchers get recognition for what, not where they publish. Read more: elifesciences.org/articles/83889…

@AbellJonny @Ulrike_Boehm @eLife Please do add the missing opportunities using the add new funding option. ecrcentral.org/fundings

@Ulrike_Boehm @eLife Yeah I haven’t used this before - thanks! Unfortunately though it seems to be missing at least a few options in the UK. Perhaps just not updated. V useful in any case!

👀👀 If anyone knows of a good compendium/database of new investigator or start up grants that are eligible to ECRs & institutes in the UK and would be happy to share…that would be awesome! Thank you kindly!! 🍻on me 😬! Please RT

Today we’re pleased to open the call for the next eLife Community Ambassadors Programme – a programme that facilitates a diverse, global community of researchers to promote responsible behaviours in science. Learn more and how to apply: elifesciences.org/inside-elife/b…

In-person academic conferences are costly and exclusive - accelerating efforts to improve virtual conferences can lead to a more equitable and sustainable conference culture buff.ly/3bO2opM New Comment from @SSarabipour et al.

Our work on improving scientific conferences has been published. We assessed 270 in-person conferences and noted that many were lacking in sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility. We believe that a switch to virtual formats is crucial for science🧵👇🏼 dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41562…

The use of non-inclusive terms such as "blacklist" and "whitelist", or “master” and “slave” is increasing in the life sciences literature. Aziz Khan (@khanaziz84) calls for the academic community to expunge these archaic terms elifesciences.org/articles/65604…

Studies have shown that white PIs are 1.7 times more likely to receive NIH grant funding than Black PIs. A recent Feature Article delves into these disparities in more detail and considers the agency’s response. Read this thread for highlights ⬇️ (1/7) elifesciences.org/articles/65697…
