Joseph L. Graves, Jr. argues that HBCUs like his own @ncatsuaggies have been short-changed by billions and yet excel at producing Black scientists and leading research. The financial shackling of historically Black universities in the United States https://t.co/ySRGC4QiGU

In our #Changemakers series @NatureCareers, @Vukosi Marivate talks about why he works to connect networks of AI researchers across Africa. As told to @sarahemilywild I want to ensure that Africans take part in the AI revolution https://t.co/Lo9n67Gjrm

Biochemist Babita Paudel travels to the some of the highest reaches of the Himalayas for both her science and to bring professional development to women researchers. Trekking across Nepal to bridge its gender gap in the sciences https://t.co/0g9Id7vl6h

Changemaker @tatsuya_amano talks about ways to boost inclusion of non-fluent English speakers in #STEM. As told to @marilenharo Breaking language barriers: ‘Not being fluent in English is often viewed as being an inferior scientist’ https://t.co/T2Orddb1MN

Most (57%) lab heads in industry and academia read and respond to 'cold email' applications to their group. Here's their advice on how to craft an eye-catching one. Four tips for writing the perfect ‘cold e-mail’ in job applications https://t.co/PFdc4S2bNF

In this #WorkingScientist profile, carnivore ecologist @sciencewithtyus describes why he wants to see predators 'win'. As told to @RobinKD Beyond black and white: an ecologist applies racial-justice principles to predators and their ecosystems https://t.co/rhxxyxEWUt

Well said @ArachnologyNerd: Social constructs of STEM culture were established by white, heterosexual, cisgender, men. "If you don’t fall into that demographic, your presence becomes political — but only because you’re asking to be included." https://t.co/GAwIjfs3Rb

Attacks on #academic freedom, teaching controversy, abortion, tenure and #DEI offices have left many faculty members in the South demoralized. By @laurieudesky Is political interference causing faculty brain drain in the southern United States? https://t.co/815yTTbwOw

In Brazil, >50% of the population identifies as Black, mixed-race or Indigenous, but 90% of sci's are white. Graduate edu has been slow to implement policies to change that. Affirmative action slow to take hold in Brazil's graduate science education https://t.co/xJzLOD1Lxf

Out this week @NatureCareers. 1. Russian expat researchers struggle to find posts amid anti-Russian sentiment (by @BenjPlackett). 2. Q&A highlighting that Ukrainian sci's face worse if they stayed or fled (by @arorankita). https://t.co/yStmiEfgry https://t.co/vhaozFLrlw

Ukrainian ecologist Olena Melnyk rebuilt her research career in Switzerland. Now she studies how to undo the damage from bombs to her country's soil. As told to @arorankita. I fled the war in Ukraine. Now I work on ways to help the country’s soil heal https://t.co/vhaozFLrlw
