Over the course of the last several months, we have seen numerous articles that emphasize the disproportionate burdens and obstacles facing women in academia as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Few articles however have offered ideas on how to mitigate these burdens. This week’s edition of the ADVANCE Weekly Roundup features an article from Nature in which several journal editors, funders, and academic leaders offer their advice on mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 on women scientists.
Today’s article was shared by Andrew Storer, dean of the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science and project lead on the ADVANCE initiative’s Advocates and Allies program.
If you have an article you think we should feature in the ADVANCE Weekly Roundup, please email it to advance-mtu@mtu.edu.
The ADVANCE Weekly Roundup is brought to you by ADVANCE at Michigan Tech, which is an NSF-funded initiative dedicated to improving faculty career success, retention, diversity, equity, and inclusion. These articles are available on the ADVANCE Newsblog.
