The relevant EU-UK 'Specialised Committee' is meeting today to formally sign-off on the UK's association to Horizon Europe. It's been a long road, but we're finally there! This is great news for the UK, for the EU, and for science itself.

"Ignored and not appreciated" nature.com/articles/d41586-0…; solid research suggesting that contributions by women are less likely to result in authorship than contributions by men; I like the elegant triangulation of scientometric data, survey data and interviews @HollyElse

‘Ignored and not appreciated’: Women’s research contributions often go unrecognized

Nature - Data reveal that to earn credit on scientific articles, women need to work harder than men.
