Talk about commitment: João Miguel Alves-Nunes stepped on deadly jararacas more than 40,000 times to figure out when the vipers are most likely to bite. That story and more of the best from @ScienceMagazine and science in today's #ScienceAdviser: https://t.co/GM6NgfD9Z4

“Very long overdue.” My latest story—about the long-running effort to add questions about sexual orientation and gender identity to NSF's workforce surveys. #LGBTQinSTEM @ScienceCareers https://t.co/A5H2tbWyfI

Postdocs at the National Institutes of Health will now be paid at least $61,008, an increase of $4500 over their current minimum salary level—though still below the advisory group’s recommendation of $70,000. @ScienceCareers

After call for raises, NIH boosts pay for early career scientists—but falls short of advisory group's recommended $70,000 postdoc salary. My latest for @ScienceInsider. https://t.co/JsIZ4EHqJb

“Innovation in caregiving support is desperately needed.” The National Academies released a report yesterday calling for universities to do more to help caregivers in STEMM. #AcademicChatter #ScienceTwitter #womeninSTEM https://t.co/cshPVd68mB

New study sheds light on bias in news coverage of scientific papers. My latest for @ScienceCareers https://t.co/nEeFOjxqjt

The number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents working as #postdocs in the U.S. fell sharply in 2022. The new data underscore concerns that an increasing number of early career scientists are flocking to industry. My latest for @ScienceCareers. https://t.co/iRuyE0LHo9

"The capacity to purchase citations in bulk is a new and worrying development." My latest story—about a research team that went "undercover" to buy citations for a fictional scientist. @ScienceMagazine #AcademicChatter https://t.co/Qygj4E2JcE

"Research is messy. … Trying to protect students from that reality does them a disservice."

"I know I’m not alone in my struggle with mental health in academia." #ScienceWorkingLife

"I encourage scientists … to reduce the environmental impact of their own research." In this week's #ScienceWorkingLife, #PhD student @Maj03801085 describes how she helped form a group dedicated to pushing for “greener” ways to operate.

#NextGenSci asked young scientists: What traditional career expectation have you come across that seems outdated, counterproductive, or exclusionary? How should that expectation be adjusted? Here's what they answered: https://t.co/Gz3nQ9060F

"I felt humiliated. … Why had I not been more vigilant?" In this #ScienceWorkingLife, a retired researcher recounts when a postdoc in their lab committed fraud—and how they had to face their own culpability.
