So much to reflect on following Sara Rouhi on Bsky @RouhiRoo.bsky.social's fantastic presentation articulating the necessary intersection of #OpenScience & social justice. Main takeaway for me: all players in #scholcomm need to work to build a better 'new normal' inc dismantling academic imperialism #UKSGNov

Wow. Women are only dominant in science in countries that have had brain drain. “It’s a blue, blue world” says Cassidy R. Sugimoto #UKSGNov “Women are underrepresented across all fields apart from e.g. care-related disciplines, or those held in lower academic regard."

A profound #UKSGNov presentation from Cassidy R. Sugimoto revealing systemic gendered inequality trends within the scientific & scholarly publishing ecosystem. It’s hard not to make this face at the moment 🥺… the systemic barriers and disparities must be addressed collectively UKSG

Inspiring stuff as always from Masud Khokhar - in ambiguous times leaders need to be even more willing to take managed risks, knowing not every risk taken will result in success #UKSGNov

"Be vulnerable, but be brave" - absolutely love this principle from Masud Khokhar ; an approach to leadership I feel is powerful even in 'normal times', not just in a crisis like the current time #uksgnov
