I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

1. Climate change
2. Greenhouse gas emissions
3. Emissions
4. Racial equity
5. Gender identity
6. Diversity, equity and inclusion
7. Environmental justice
8. Justice40 initiative

What I need male academics to understand is that you, YES YOU, still benefit from a system where you are seen as superior to the women students and staff around you. You don't have to lift a finger. You are not exempt because you're nice or a feminist. YES YOU. #AcademicSky

Dr Space Junk (Alice Gorman) @drspacejunk.bsky.social

A retired friend was remembering when there were departmental secretaries at universities who basically project managed the departments. You could give them handwritten documents, and they would type them up. He was shocked when I said it didn't work like that for female academics.
