Female scientists are quitting academic publishing earlier than their male counterparts, even in biological-science disciplines that have roughly equal representation. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Study of biologists quitting academia reveals hidden gender gaps
Even in fields in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

Exciting news that @ukbiobank.bsky.social is launching a new project to measure up to 5,400 proteins in each of 600,000 samples from its participants. Last year, research by our Prof Claudia Langenberg and colleagues helped show how proteomic data can reveal new insights into disease.
