"Academics who have experienced #bullying often describe patterns that suggest a different explanation entirely: bullying is a means for mediocre scientists to rise to the top. Some star academics reached their position because they are bullies, not in spite of it." nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Protected academic #bullies rarely change. They just change #address, new university/lab/company, and the behavior goes with them: stolen credit, IP, and financial benefit from #investors. Everyone loses: students, companies, VCs, patients. nature.com/articles/d41586-0… @Nature

On June 15th, 2026, the Academic Parity Movement (APM) is bringing the global fight against #harassment to Bern, #Switzerland for: #STEM the #Bullying: The #European #Dialogue. We’re moving beyond just "talking" about the problem. We’re gathering the people who actually have the power to change the system: 🔬 Researchers sharing lived experiences. 🏛️ University Administrators implementing new policies. 💰 Funding Agencies rethinking accountability. ⚖️ Policy Advocates driving systemic reform. Harassment isn't just a personal issue—it’s a barrier to scientific innovation. It’s time to reshape the culture so talent can thrive unimpeded. 📅 When: June 15, 2026 📍 Where: Bern, Switzerland 🎟️ Register here: lnkd.in/d2UjB57p @DrNancyOlivieri, @alison_vogelaar, @JanetGHering, @NicoleLBoivin

The #starting conditions of #scientists are often overlooked in #academic #admissions, #rankings, and #recognitions. As you participate in admission, #nomination, or #award committees, it is prudent to take these starting points into account—such as the home research environment, access to grants, and availability of necessary materials and instruments. Considering these factors can lead to more equitable evaluations. nature.com/articles/s41562-0… @NatureHumBehav
