Tatsuya Amano has shown that just reading the English literature misses 35% of the science, yet this is rarely included in syntheses or global assessments. The problem is much greater in many biodiverse areas. He is determined to change this.

Very much enjoyed the huge #BES2024. Such an honour, and great to see so many people. Have now made it to Edinburgh to discuss #languagebarriers in science tomorrow for #ASABWinter2024.

Global research shows that it takes non-native English speaking scientists 51% more time to write a paper! Barriers and biases in academia with respect to language. Thought-provoking plenary by Tatsuya Armano at #asabwinter2024 👏🏼

So amazing to see #ICCB2025 has kicked off and our language accessibility measures have been described.
Live English transcription & translation into 60 languages is working properly. 39 people has already used it in 10 languages. If you are at #ICCB2025, please give it a try!

How English-Centric Metrics Distort Global Scientific Productivity

Great thread on #languagebarriers in science including evidence on accent bias!
If you're a native speaker of English, you might not have experienced any language barriers in your scientific career, but their negative impacts on early-career scientists nonfluent in English are big, as summarized in the figure below created by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social and colleagues. (1/10)

Women, non-native English speakers & those form low-income countries are disadvantaged in science but by how much? We found that women with non-English first languages from low-income countries publish up to 70% fewer in English than their counterparts. 1/5
