I am writing a paper about gendered publication rates & something I am noticing in the existing literature is that men tend to say the causes for less publications by women are either not well understood, non existent or due to family demands. While women say the cause is systemic and structural.

In a study co-led by myself and Prof @tmem-samuel.bsky.social at The Centre for Cancer Biology, Adelaide University, we found breast cancer cells subjected to compression, such as experienced during tumour growth in the restricted mammary duct, are changed in ways that worsen the resulting tumours.
