Worth reading from @KamounLab 📖

A wonderful read. Can not agree more. Thanks @KamounLab for spending your time to pen down this article. A Must read for Science folks

@KamounLab Even if you are not at an academic institution (e.g. govt research, industry) you still need to be doing outreach to ensure you understand the challenges of those who you are there to support via research, & mentoring and succession planning in that specific environment impt too
We’re hosting Nicolas Champouret and Nadine Widdowson @SyngentaFlowers for a career round table Q&A with students and postdocs. Moderator is Julie @lintz_julie1 #CelebratingAlumni
Are you a Black undergraduate student in the UK with an interest in plant science? Applications are now open for the BiPS Summer Studentship supported by @ThePlantJournal Apply by 31 May 2024: blackinplantscience.org/2024/04/29/bla… Please RT
Fantastic thoughts from @KamounLab again on another very important topic and we must evaluate these activities better in recruitment for academic positions/promotions as well as in appraisals too I think!

“Academics who care only about their own career trajectory, ignoring the broader academic community, create environments that suffocate creativity and collaboration. It’s toxic, it hinders scientific excellence and it doesn’t help anyone.” — @KamounLab link.medium.com/71Yu2CtpdJb
This is an important read!!!
@talbotlabTSL @KamounLab Not surprisingly similar discussions happen in industry science. Focused career advancement or engaging and improving the wider science community you are involved with, within a company and externally. The later may be less financially rewarding but more rewarding in other ways.
One of my favourite articles by @KamounLab - he highlights a vital part of being an academic and also one of the most rewarding 👇

@KamounLab @ajackiehunter I totally agree that we need to keep funders accountable. It has been them who were eventually driving the change towards open access publishing and preprints. Admin is however hand more powerful as they define the environment for good mentoring.
@KamounLab @DrYaraSanchez Great article and pinning those Qs - plus taking the liberty of adding one around how else the PI has promoted an inclusive research culture (cos that’s the culture that truly supports transformative / impactful science, and happily also happens to be the right thing to do 🤓)
Over the past year I have heard some very harrowing stories about bullying, harassment and misconduct in research. I would be grateful if anyone wants to share confidentially examples to [email protected] to help my evidence base for change - you will not be identified.
91 universities have signed the pledge but of these there are only 5 Oxbridge colleges - see the full list at cantbuymysilence.com/uni-pledge
@KamounLab Worse than the funders IMHO: lack of appreciation for mentoring at many research institutions and specifically teaching heavy ones. Mentoring (BSc and MSc thesis supervision) is expected, sometimes at a full time equivalent. But when appraisals come -only papers and grants count.
I never felt more satisfied in my job than when participating in the woman mentoring program from @esBritish . Outreach and mentoring are a crucial part of academia, and I believe they make us better persons!

@talbotlabTSL @KamounLab Not surprisingly similar discussions happen in industry science. Focused career advancement or engaging and improving the wider science community you are involved with, within a company and externally. The later may be less financially rewarding but more rewarding in other ways.
One of my favourite articles by @KamounLab - he highlights a vital part of being an academic and also one of the most rewarding 👇

@KamounLab @ajackiehunter I totally agree that we need to keep funders accountable. It has been them who were eventually driving the change towards open access publishing and preprints. Admin is however hand more powerful as they define the environment for good mentoring.
@KamounLab @DrYaraSanchez Great article and pinning those Qs - plus taking the liberty of adding one around how else the PI has promoted an inclusive research culture (cos that’s the culture that truly supports transformative / impactful science, and happily also happens to be the right thing to do 🤓)
@KamounLab It can be done, I agree. But then when it comes to crunch time the admin is stuck in a treadmill of numbers and performance metrics - and as many of them survived the always harsher academic world themselves it becomes a kind of survivor biased group taking the decisions.
Over the past year I have heard some very harrowing stories about bullying, harassment and misconduct in research. I would be grateful if anyone wants to share confidentially examples to [email protected] to help my evidence base for change - you will not be identified.
91 universities have signed the pledge but of these there are only 5 Oxbridge colleges - see the full list at cantbuymysilence.com/uni-pledge
@KamounLab So actually this forces people into being bad mentors as there is simply no time to be a good mentor, properly educate and train people. On the other hand it selects against creativity, as uninspried straight forward work gets published more easily than something truly novel.
@KamounLab Worse than the funders IMHO: lack of appreciation for mentoring at many research institutions and specifically teaching heavy ones. Mentoring (BSc and MSc thesis supervision) is expected, sometimes at a full time equivalent. But when appraisals come -only papers and grants count.
I never felt more satisfied in my job than when participating in the woman mentoring program from @esBritish . Outreach and mentoring are a crucial part of academia, and I believe they make us better persons!
