It’s been a mixed week, which has caused me to reflect on two beautiful posts – and put them here so that I don’t lose them.
First, the evolution of dealing with a paper being rejected through your career.
And, naturally, the evolution of having your paper accepted throughout your career.
As someone who, admittedly, benefitted a great deal from Privilege growing up (it definitely lowered the barriers to my becoming a succesful marine scientist), know that this is true of MANY Ecology and Evolutionary Biology folk, and now think a good deal about how I can lower those barriers for students and mentees that come under my aegis, you should all go over and check out Miriam Goldstein’s A field guide to privilege in marine science: some reasons why we lack diversity.
