Oh nooo, make sure you don't do too many though! It isn't your responsibility personally to fix scientific publishing (journals should be doing that). ECRs have enough on our plates already so while doing some refereeing is good we shouldn't feel a need to be heroes

Week 2. Rather than just be my own specific critiques of SRS - how this has been dealt with speaks to the terrible culture across HE
There is a culture of fear of complaining for ECRs & students because it feels more consequential to raise issues than cause them.

Having raised it with them privately & been blown off I publicly ask @srsrensoc.bsky.social why has SRS chosen to exclude Romanies & Irish Travellers by branding its postgraduate award for 'People of Colour'?
Does SRS ignorantly assume they are included or is it deliberate discrimination?

🙏Another chance to thank the amazing #Masters & #PhD students who I've been lucky enough to work alongside – an inspiration as scientists, communicators & colleagues, as well as being enormous fun to spend time with.
Working with #ECRs is an absolute highlight of my job. ☺️

Academia selects against people who care about this by obliging ECRs to publish on their prestige-profiteering terms or perish (to properly flesh out a well-worn platitude).

Strongly agree, and I am deeply concerned about demand management or the so-called internal peer review, which lacks nationwide regulation, transparency, or mechanisms to avoid conflicts of interest, potentially widening inequality, compromising mobility, and particularly, disadvantaging ECRs.
I'm sure there'll be many takes on this announcement from UKRI www.ukri.org/news/ukri-mo... , but my main continuous worry is that "demand management" (i.e. internal selection) is very unequal, with terrible EDI implications.

Grant peer review costs a lot: ~$40k per application in reviewer time, with proposals reviewed again and again.
In @thetransmitter.bsky.social , I propose a partial lottery: reviewers decide pass/fail, chance picks among the passes, and "unmissable" ideas and ECRs get protected routes.

How about adding an element of chance to grant review?
A process that uses a lottery system saves time and accepts that, above a quality threshold, luck has always played a part in science funding.
