@DrMishalK @Obasi_TropMed Very important contribution - we need systems that recognise those who promote inclusive team work and support and recognise early career researchers from all backgrounds. Sadly, the ones we have don’t
I'm often asked what needs to be done/concrete steps to improve academia. How about rewarding the right attributes (team work, mentorship, promoting equity, connections with the context of work)? Well said @martinmckee!

“…current assessments of academic excellence do not include metrics for furthering fairness and equity. This means these attributes essentially have no academic value and that the labour of promoting fairness also has no worth.” So true. Character has no academic value.
