Researchers from the global south face often-distressing immigration bureaucracy that most from the global north do not. These steps can begin to counteract this inequity go.nature.com/3Jl5xx8
@Nature Please stop being a clown
@Nature Addressing inequities in immigration bureaucracy is crucial for fostering global collaboration in research.
@Nature Though, for example being an EU citizen helps initially (reduces initial paperwork) at Universities, but later on even EU citizens will face discrimination and abuse. Academia is just broken and the ones who could change the system profit the most out of it.
@Nature global north, global south They mean the West an the rest. This is Komintern vocabulary right there
@Nature I have had no feasible way to travel home for 3 years without getting stuck there indefinitely bc of the US embassy closure. Money that can solve the problem by applying and waiting for visa elsewhere is beyond reach with a postdoc salary 🎺🎺🎺 This is how policies shape my life
@Nature @Alexis_Lomakin often? The @GOVUK is actually making you feel you are a second class citizen, you have no social rights, unemployment, etc which yoi pay with your taxed salary. And visa costs and NHS upfront payments... The steps are simple: non fascist immigration policies.
@Nature If only stakeholders realize the implications of their rules/bureaucracy on researchers' careers & lives. For many, seeking a science career means huge sacrifices at all levels. It needs to be vocalized more!
