@LaylaMoran @CommonsHealth @RCPhysicians @gmcuk @DHSCgovuk @TheKingsFund @NHSEngland @NHSE_WTE We're utterly dismayed by what is happening, utterly aghast at the implications for standards of UK medicine & safety risks to our patients. Yet @gmcuk & @NHSEngland plough on ahead regardless. A scandal, unfolding in plain sight. Please intervene, @wesstreeting. Ends/
Resistance is (not) futile. As protests continue to kick-off all over the world, @Nature senior editor @hcpearson talks to researchers and surveys the literature asking: which kinds of protests work? nature.com/articles/d4158…
We work hard because we are dedicated to science. The reward is not solely financial—it is the connection to the acquisition of knowledge and the societal benefits that this yields. But passion doesn’t pay the bills. #SpringerNatureStrike
"The current pay dispute isn’t just about wages; it’s about the value placed on editorial work. The outcome will be a test of whether [@SpringerNature] truly values the expertise their leadership claim is the foundation of quality publishing." - @scholarlykitchn
#NUJ When salaries don’t keep pace with inflation, a passion for science doesn’t pay the bills. #SpringerNatureStrike researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-vie…
Thank you Paul Mischel (@mischellab) and the more than 1,000 scientists — including 11 Nobel prizewinners — who have signed an open letter in support of the @SpringerNature staff striking now 🙏#SpringerNatureStrike
Update on day 2 of the strike by editors at super-profitable scientific behemoth Springer #SpringerNatureStrike nuj.org.uk/resource/sprin…
#SpringerNatureStrike: the #NUJ has reiterated its willingness to resume negotiations at any time with @SpringerNature , in hopes of resolving the ongoing pay dispute. As we urge in-person talks, it's time the company rethinks its position and proposes a fair pay award.
There’s an empty chair at #MRS24 today where one of our members should be — this is what we’d rather be doing instead of being forced to strike for fair pay at @SpringerNature 😢
Once again, I am striking today with my UK editorial and production colleagues at Nature journals, in demand of fair pay I'm very sorry for the delays and inconvenience caused to our authors by this #SpringerNatureStrike

Thank you to every scientist who has come out in support of striking @SpringerNature editorial staff, including @NobelPrize winners @MayBrittMoser @ben_list @dmac68 @EdvardMoser @djuliussf @ardemp @GiorgioParisi @kaelin_lab 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
Thank you @stephenfry for signing the open letter in support of striking @SpringerNature staff, joining more than 800 signatories — including 11 @NobelPrize winners. We are beyond grateful 🙏🙏🙏
For many years, the ISME journals were published at Springer Nature. Our success is in part due to the dedication of the Senior editorial staff, and therefore we support their call to be adequately remunerated.
