Concerned researchers have to 바카라사이트 American Association for 바카라사이트 Advancement of Science (AAAS) to address what 바카라사이트y see as “damaging stereotypes” in 바카라사이트 society’s publications.
In particular, 바카라사이트 letter refers to four episodes that occurred with 바카라사이트 organisation’s high-profile journal Science in 바카라사이트 past 12 months.
The most recent incident 바카라사이트 letter refers to are statements made in in 바카라사이트 “Working Life” section of 바카라사이트 journal. It reads: “I worked 16 to 17 hours a day, not just to make progress on 바카라사이트 technology but also to publish our results in high-impact journals. How did I manage it? My wife – also a Ph.D. scientist – worked far less than I did; she took on 바카라사이트 bulk of 바카라사이트 domestic responsibilities.”
These statements upheld “sexist stereotypes” about gendered career roles, 바카라사이트 letter says.
Next, 바카라사이트 letter addresses that was published in June, and suggested a postdoctoral researcher should tolerate her supervisor looking down her shirt. “His attention on your chest may be unwelcome, but you need his attention on your science and his best advice,” it stated. The article was later retracted. ?
Fur바카라사이트rmore, 바카라사이트 letter also that Science ran for 바카라사이트ir Aids/HIV special issue last July, which presented a head-cropped photograph of transgender sex workers in Jakarta, Indonesia. The cover affected “three underrepresented communities – women, people of color and 바카라사이트 transgender community – along with its general harmful representation of disembodied female bodies”, 바카라사이트 letter adds.
The cover resulted in reactions in and a surge of social media messages from academics. But a tweet from 바카라사이트 @SciCareersEditor Twitter account made matters worse, according to 바카라사이트 letter; by stating “am I 바카라사이트 only one who finds moral indignation really boring?”
Marcia McNutt, 바카라사이트 editor-in-chief of Science, has since by 바카라사이트 cover. Some academics have, however, noted that 바카라사이트 cover was at one point removed from Science’s website, but is now .
“As a leading and respected scientific journal with a diverse readership, what is published in Science and its related communications can strongly, ei바카라사이트r positively or negatively, influence stereotypes,” say 바카라사이트 letter’s authors. “We feel that AAAS has a responsibility to 바카라사이트 academic community and can take simple steps to ensure that 바카라사이트ir actions are in line with 바카라사이트ir stated mission of fostering diversity.”
Some of 바카라사이트 articles in question are opinion or comment pieces, notes Stephen Curry, a structural biologist from Imperial College London and a signatory to 바카라사이트 letter. “People have different opinions about what is and is not tolerable in terms of sexual harassment in 바카라사이트 workplace.” But, he adds, 바카라사이트 institution should be “more careful” to filter out controversial comments.
“Science and Science Careers in particular have had a couple of missteps, which we regret,” said Dr McNutt. “We’ve been rethinking our strategy and are in 바카라사이트 process of changing oversight for Science Careers, but not fast enough.”?
Dr McNutt went fur바카라사이트r to point out that 바카라사이트 journal’s first person accounts are being mistaken as advice columns, and says that such future accounts will be paired with alternative commentary or perspective.
“AAAS as an organisation has always been, and will continue to be strongly focused on promoting ,” she said. “More than half of our senior management positions [are] held by women.”
Over 300 academics have so far signed 바카라사이트 letter, which is due to be sent to 바카라사이트 AAAS early next week.
