Though anecdotal, not surprising that female academics are struggling in COVID era working conditions. A good reminder for those of us without dependents to show extra grace and support to those who do. #WomenInScience https://t.co/itZYcn4GxP

It is harder to work from home during COVID-19 because of extra meetings, extra duties, new research subjects, & anxiety. It is much harder for female academics – although controlling kids noises in background from zooming out is hard for all https://t.co/uya59B43XE

For all those deciding the fate of young academics, please remember COVID-19 when we prepare our promotion and tenure apps. I very much promise this will have an impact, and will somehow even more disadvantage females. @Momademia @AcademicChatter pic.twitter.com/CApgngCdEG

Universities considering tenure applications are to weigh the (female) researcher's childcare duties during COVID-19. As if unis don't already offer abundant special advantages/ lowered standards to women (sush!). And even that will not be enough. https://t.co/stPcSNGzJu

Well, it doesnāt really shock me that academic production by females is down right now given the home schooling situation. I feel like my own production took a bit of a short term hit, mostly due to being freaked out for a month rather than because of childcare or homeschooling responsibilities. I just hope that when this all settles out, people donāt assume I am or will be less productive because of āthe childrensā or that Iād prefer to dial down my academic goals just because of all those additional woman responsibilities. Thatās been a recurring theme that Iāve already encountered many many times throughout my career, and now yay. Itās most likely only going to get worse.
I’m glad that folks (especially with evidence) are publishing about reduced productivity for women in academia. Patriarchy is alive and well during the pandemic, and better to shine a light on it than (continue to) pretend it doesn’t exist.
