12/13 FIRE‑DEGRADES is therefore not only about data and models, but also about insisting that excellence and equity include the everyday working conditions we offer to researchers – in Spain, in Latin America and beyond. #FireEcology #ProtectedAreas #LandscapeEcology #ScienceEquity #GlobalSouth

I can’t promise this will be the last time I talk about inequity — or equity washing — in science. But after the multitude of responses to my Nature piece, I know something has shifted. Many came from the Global North. That alone feels like a small win. 👉 rdcu.be/eGEun

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending | Nature
Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system. Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.
