I was going to do my final paper for my 3rd Masters on lung health in adult female goalies, since we’re smaller than men but on the ice more than kids. Turned out, the “refrigerant” in the ice is ok & not a factor in lung health. The 3 month time limit didn’t allow for a diff sports angle topic.
Representation of women authors in different subsets of the 550 exercise physiology articles analyzed. Equitable representation is set at 50% women authors. Proportionate representation is set at 27%, equivalent to the overall proportion of women authors in the dataset. Results of binomial tests comparing sample representation to equitable or proportionate representation are indicated by Benjamini–Hochberg-adjusted p values.
Nearly half of exercise physiology studies still focus only on men, while just 8% centre women.
This analysis of 629 papers highlights ongoing gaps in representation, authorship, and reporting practices.

I can’t see very well without my glasses, so I appreciate their food finding techniques! 😊
I have published books before, but never have I worked with press with such capacious reach! Editorial, marketing, administrative folks are all so impressive. I could not be happier to have devoted so much to a project that has been handled with such care. #booksky #academicsky #comics #illustration
The end of dementia. Pretty soon, his brain won’t remember how to tell his organs to function. Wow. Never forget spineless Republicans who won’t enact Article 25! They need to be held accountable during the rebuilding process.
#AcademicSky, Any recommendations on things I can do to prepare for PhD studies while I wait to learn if I’m accepted? Other than work to get some articles published (prioritize that over decluttering?). I’ve already been Int’l published twice by peer-review but I don’t want to rest on my laurels.
White House launched an app yesterday that’s 💯 surveillance—allows them to remotely view/delete anything on your phone incl WiFi access history-contacts list-all followers on your social media. Personal security analysts say remove immediately, factory reset the phone, change ALL profiles+passwords.

Interesting article! Arizona State University doesn’t allow any AI, unless you’re taking a class in it. It’s grounds for expulsion. Where I’ve taught for the last 5 years, it’s up to the professors to make an AI policy. I teach how ChatGPT gets 50% wrong & how to find a published study in 5 minutes.

Students Want to ‘Take Back Bard’ From Longtime President Botstein
As its president is investigated for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Bard College students are drawing attention to what they call a culture of sexual harassment on campus. https://bit.ly/41mK8N3

From what I’ve been reading, 75% of US colleges & universities have moved on to Brightspace. My oldest son’s Uni uses it & he loves it.

Is this a Canadian only position? Like, citizen and/or location. I’ve participated in/done peer review several times. (My Lost Canadian citizenship application is complete, but I have to retake screenshots of my kids ID, is why I’m asking.)

Whaaat??? 😳 Have they forgotten students are paying for transformative education **now**? If you’re not there for the students (uni’s reason for existence), you shouldn’t even be cleaning the toilets.
"High-profile, high-fee journals affected include Nature Communications, Cell Reports, and Science Advances." Things are accelerating a bit as it seems when one of the only countries who raised its science budget decides to changes the journals it accepts to fund... #AcademicSky
Our recent report, “Rethinking Underemployment,” sparked some interesting reactions on social media. The comments we received raise the ever-important “What now?” question. CEW Director Jeff Strohl discusses next steps in underemployment research. bit.ly/40zyI8x #AcademicSky #Underemployment
Superb post! I fully resonate with this although my experience has had differences but plenty of common points. #UK #HigherEducation #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky

It’s a crap-shoot. 50-50. Duke has forgotten how they earned their reputation of the past, so they might or might not.
