First were @maelmleroux.bsky.social & @berthetmelissa.bsky.social talking about @edi-efp.bsky.social for the pre-conference workshop!

Please share far and wide! A fantastic opportunity for primatologists of all ages to develop their field skills - aimed particularly at those who face barriers to obtaining fieldwork 🐒

PRIMATOLOGISTS: Elizabeth McGee is looking for IPS abstracts for Cancun 2012, Vietnam 2014, & Kuching 2023 to collect data for a new grants-in-aid program for researchers from low GDP habitat countries to travel to IPS congresses to present their research. (1/2)

Men Get More Patent Credit Than Women, Even For The Same Idea A new study finds that scientific papers authored by women are cited less often in patented inventions than those by men. Here's the reason and why it matters.

400 people w/ doctorates read the same research abstract where the lead authors name was either male or female. Participants felt the discovery in the abstract was more important when the author was male & spent more time reading it(114s for male authored; 98s female). www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

In a moment when EDEI is under threat in various institutions and settings around the world, it is more urgent than ever to promote activities that can effectively lead to broadening the access to opportunities within our field.

Amazing initiative!

How can we make the next EFP conference more inclusive and accessible? What barriers do you encounter when you submit an abstract, travel to the location, or attend the conference?
Send us your ideas, suggestions or stories (below or DMs) and we'll work on improving EDI at the next EFP conference!

Incredibly excited about that! And amazed at the energy people brought in.
Together, we can make a difference!

The EFP's EDI group had its first meeting yesterday! 🥳
With 23 registered members, we already have lots of projects and ideas. It is not too late if you want to join!
📢 Stay tuned for more coming soon!

Are you going to the field soon? How is your 1st aid knowledge? (Not that great, isn't it...)

I just discovered this online wilderness 1st aid course to learn essential skills that could save your or your coworkers' lives. And there is a 7-day free trial period 😉
