analysis—which covered 486,644 biomedical articles with two to nine authors published between 1946 and 2009—found that female, black and Hispanic authors were less likely than were white men to hold prestigious last-author spots. And while all scientists tended to land more last-author spots as their careers went on, that trend was slower for women and minorities. “There’s a lack of progression for those groups,” says Bruce Weinberg, a co-author of the study and an economist at Ohio State University in Columbus. <a

three-year caps on postdocs under principal investigators and new non-tenure track academic research positions, among other changes. To implement all the proposals would require a US$2 billion increase to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s budget, as well as subsequent budget raises to prevent future funding bottlenecks. <a href="/naturejobs/2018/04/17/reshaping-the-research-landscape#more-17549" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div><!-- .entry-summary --> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"><div class="wpn-tags-list standard-teaser cleared"><h3>Tags:</h3><ul class="tags"><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/academia/" rel="tag">academia</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/biomedical-research/" rel="tag">biomedical research</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/career-outcome/" rel="tag">career outcome</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/career-paths-2/" rel="tag">career paths</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/grant/" rel="tag">grant</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/nih/" rel="tag">NIH</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/postdoc/" rel="tag">postdoc</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/tenure-track/" rel="tag">tenure track</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/tag/united-states/" rel="tag">United States</a></li></ul></div> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-54919" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/tell-a-friend?id=17549">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-54919"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=Reshaping+the+research+landscape+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F&title=Reshaping+the+research+landscape">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F&title=Reshaping+the+research+landscape">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F&title=Reshaping+the+research+landscape">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fnaturejobs%2F2018%2F04%2F17%2Freshaping-the-research-landscape%2F&title=Reshaping+the+research+landscape">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article><!-- .hentry --> <article> <div id="wpn-post-54853" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-6 wpn-even wpn-alt wpn-author-jack-leeming wpn-has-excerpt wpn-has-more-link wpn-category-academia-2 wpn-category-career-paths wpn-category-collaboration-2 wpn-category-communication-2 wpn-category-funding-2 cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2018-03-30T13:00:36+01:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2018-03-30">30 Mar 2018 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="13:00:36+0100"> 13:00 BST</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/03/30/communicating-your-research-get-it-right-do-it-often-it-really-matters/'>Communicating your research: get it right, do it often.

of Representatives essentially voted to destroy graduate education in the United States. By taxing tuition waivers as income — and therefore treating their taxable income as two to three times the amount graduate students are actually paid — the Republican tax bill would effectively put graduate study outside of the reach of all but the independently wealthy. While the Senate version of the tax bill does not include this provision, it is far from certain what the final bill after the reconciliation process will look like. <a

If passed, these regulations — ostensibly designed to simplify tax calculations — will eliminate benefits previously given to students. Of particular harm to graduate students and the scientific world would be the elimination of the tax-free status of tuition waivers. <a
