Gender, Racial, and Academic Authorship Diversity in the Otolaryngology Clinical Trial Literature.

To investigate the state and trajectory of gender, racial, and academic authorship diversity in the otolaryngology clinical trial literature over the past 2 decades. Bibliometric analysis. Otolaryngology clinical trial literature. Clinical trials published in the 9 major otolaryngology journals between 2000 and 2020 were included. The gender, race, and academic seniority of the first, senior, and corresponding authors were recorded for each trial. Multivariable regression models assessed the temporal trajectory of authorship diversity over time and the disparity in citations across author characteristics. Models adjusted for relevant confounders pertaining to publication environment and study design. Among 2117 trials, first, senior, and corresponding authors have been predominantly White (60%-64%), male (76%-80%), and attending physicians (63%-69%). Trials led by Black (<1%) and Hispanic (<5%) authors were severely underrepresented. Over time, the representation of female (adj. β 0.8%, 95% CI [0.5%, 1.1%] per year), Asian (1.0% [0.7%, 1.3%] per year), and MD resident (0.4% [0.1%, 0.7%] per year) first authorship increased, but representation of female (0.2% [-0.1%, 0.5%] per year), Black (0% [-0.03%, 0.02%] per year), Hispanic (-0.2% [-0.33%, -0.02%] per year) senior authorship remained persistently low. Asian-led trials were cited significantly less compared to White-led trials even after adjusting for study design and publication year (aIRR 0.82 [0.73, 0.92]). Despite promising signs of improving authorship diversity over time, persistent underrepresentation of female, Black, Hispanic senior authorship underscore the need for additional efforts to diversify the otolaryngology clinical science workforce.

Gender gaps in publications and citations in gambling studies: Comparisons against addiction science.

Women in academia publish fewer papers and receive fewer citations than men. These gender gaps likely reflect systemic biases operating over several levels, from journal editorial policies to academic career progression. This study sought to characterize gender gaps for publications and citations in the field of gambling studies. An automated gender inference procedure classified authors' binarized gender from their first names. Gender gaps were computed for publications and citations of papers in gambling studies, using the wider field of addiction science as a benchmark. Publication data were scraped from eight peer-reviewed gambling/addictions journals and separately from all gambling publications listed in PubMed. Men authored 16% more publications than women among gambling papers and 23% more publications among nongambling addictions papers. Although robust gender gaps were observed in specialist gambling journals, we find limited overall evidence for gender inequality being greater in gambling studies. Indeed, among nongambling addiction papers, men published more, despite a greater apparent representation of women in the field. The gender gap was most pronounced for the last authorships, denoting seniority. Among the first authorships, there was variability between journals, and some journals displayed approximate parity. There was limited evidence for any corresponding gender gap in citation counts. Gender gaps in gambling research, and addiction science more broadly, adhere to wider trends in academia, including the associations with academic seniority. Variability between individual journals supports the role of journal editorial policies to increase the representation and visibility of women researchers in addiction science.

At the Intersection of Disciplinary Practice and Science Policy: Publication Language Choices of Social Sciences and Humanities Scholars in Poland

The choice of language for research publication is a strategic decision that balances such issues as efficient communication of results to the target audience, requirements of the grant agency, the guidelines of desirable publication venues, and promotion criteria. Previous studies have shown that social sciences and humanities (SSH) scholars tend to communicate research in at least two languages and that they increasingly publish in English in addition to national languages. Evidence for disciplinary differences in publication languages in the SSH comes primarily from bibliometric studies that span short evaluative periods. This study aims to provide a complementary perspective on the lifelong publication practices in the SSH in one national context, using data obtained in a survey carried out in Polish universities. Its main objective is to assess the degree of multilingualism of individual disciplines and academic seniority groups, establish which languages are used, and set the results in the context of country- and institution-level science policies. The results show that while all the disciplines are oriented toward internationalization, they have developed distinctive practices reflecting their engagement with locally relevant topics, involvement with projects on the regional or supranational level, and participation in global research. They also show that by prioritizing publication in top-tier international venues across the board, current science policies do not adequately consider disciplinary practices and target audiences.

Everyone knows what behavior is but they just don’t agree on it

Studying "behavior" lies at the heart of many disciplines. Nevertheless, academics rarely provide an explicit definition of what "behavior" actually is. What range of definitions do people use, and how does that vary across disciplines? To answer these questions, we have developed a survey to probe what constitutes "behavior." We find that academics adopt different definitions of behavior according to their academic discipline, animal model that they work with, and level of academic seniority. Using hierarchical clustering, we identify at least six distinct types of "behavior" which are used in seven distinct operational archetypes of "behavior." Individual respondents have clear consistent definitions of behavior, but these definitions are not consistent across the population. Our study is a call for academics to clarify what they mean by "behavior" wherever they study it, with the hope that this will foster interdisciplinary studies that will improve our understanding of behavioral phenomena.

Linking embeddedness to physical career mobility: How Brexit affected the preference of business, economics and management academics for leaving the UK

In this study, we use embeddedness and boundaryless career perspectives to investigate the extent to which Britain's withdrawal from the European Union (‘Brexit’) led business, economics and management academics to consider emigrating. Using a representative survey of two partially overlapping groups, we find that the impact of Brexit was surprisingly broad and nuanced. In particular, individuals who were born in the UK, but had obtained citizenship of another country, and foreign-born academics who obtained UK citizenship prior to the Brexit referendum have considered leaving the country, implying a broad discontent from mobile and less embedded individuals. Surprisingly, we did not find that the reputation of the institution where participants work, or differences in levels of academic seniority, influenced whether they were considering emigrating. More productive researchers are more likely to have considered emigrating, suggesting that Brexit may lead to a ‘hollowing out’ of UK research in the long term. However, personal circumstances, such as having children, or length of tenure, also entered into scholars' intention to emigrate. The results imply that managers should act to address the potential losses, and policy makers need to support the higher education sector, to ensure its sustainable competitive performance.

Network patterns of university-industry collaboration: A case study of the chemical sciences in Australia

University–industry (U–I) collaboration takes on many forms, from research services, teaching and training, to curiosity-led research. In the chemical industries, academic chemists generate new knowledge, address novel problems faced by industry, and train the future workforce in cutting-edge methods. In this study, we examine the dynamic structures of collaborative research contracts and grants between academic and industry partners over a 5-year period within a research-intensive Australian university. We reconstruct internal contract data provided by a university research office as records of its collaborations into a complex relational database that links researchers to research projects. We then structure this complex relational data as a two-mode network of researcher-project collaborations for utilisation with Social Network Analysis (SNA)—a relational methodology ideally suited to relational data. Specifically, we use a stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM), a statistical network model for longitudinal two-mode network data. Although the dataset is complicated, we manage to replicate it exactly using a very parsimonious and relatable network model. Results indicate that as academics gain experience, they become more involved in direct research contracts with industry, and in research projects more generally. Further, more senior academics are involved in projects involving both industry partners and other academic partners of any level. While more experienced academics are also less likely to repeat collaborations with the same colleagues, there is a more general tendency in these collaborations, regardless of academic seniority or industry engagement, for prior collaborations to predict future collaborations. We discuss implications for industry and academics.

Opening CRediT: A new approach to authorship and attribution within academia

The traditional approach to academic authorship; listing individuals by their level of contribution and putting the most senior author at the end can lack transparency, introduce unfairness, and reinforces traditional power dynamics in academic seniority. This paper proposes we do away with the traditional approach to academic authorship and author order and replace it with a system of contributors or ‘credits’ with clearly acknowledged (often multiple) roles, which provides a more detailed and comprehensive way of recognising the different types of contributions that authors make to a publication. The idea behind including this contributors list inspired by the system used in movie credits. However, merely listing each contributor as an author is overly simplistic and reinforces unequal power dynamics within academia. This paper aims to contribute to the debate surrounding the role of authorship, power and contribution within academic work. And the role that radical journals like Stolen Tools Tools (a journal that aims to give voice to the marginalised and unrepresented) have in decolonising the traditional conventions that we have adopted in academia which support the privileged at the expense of diverse individuals who tend to wield less power. Opening CRediT on papers may be a tool in building a fairer and more transparent approach to authorship by providing more transparency and standardisation in recognition of contributions.

Lacking measurement invariance in research self-efficacy: Bug or feature?

Psychological factors play an important role in higher education. With respect to students' understanding of scientific research methods, research self-efficacy (RSE) has been studied as a core construct. However, findings on antecedents and outcomes of RSE are oftentimes heterogeneous regarding both its theoretical and empirical structures. The present study helps disentangle these findings by (a) establishing and validating an integrated, multi-dimensional assessment of RSE and (b) introducing a developmental perspective on RSE by testing the impact of the disciplinary context and academic seniority on both mean level and latent structure of RSE. The construct validity of the new measure was supported based on RSE assessments of 554 German psychology and educational science students. Relations to convergent and discriminant measures were as expected. Measurement invariance and LSEM analyses revealed significant differences in latent model parameters between most sub-groups of training level and disciplinary context. We discuss our findings of measurement non-invariance as a feature rather than a bug by stressing a process-oriented perspective on RSE. In this regard, we conclude potential future directions of research and RSE theory development, alongside implications for methods education practice in higher education.

The role of learning motivation on financial knowledge among Vietnamese college students

AbstractUsing survey data from 730 undergraduates in Vietnam, we find that learning motivation and its components, especially self‐efficacy, finance learning value, and achievement goals, significantly correlate with students' financial literacy performance. In addition, these correlations are moderated by student characteristics, among which academic seniority, university type, parents' education, and extra math study during high school matter the most. Our results raise significant implications to policymakers, researchers, and educators that include understanding the role of motivation and incorporating it in financial literacy education and intervention programs and considering the moderation roles that individuals' characteristics play in the motivation‐financial literacy link. We encourage more research in these areas.

Moral Judgement along the Academic Training

Moral reasoning and consequent decision making are central in the everyday life of all people, independent of their profession. It is undoubtedly crucial in the so-called “helping professions”, when the professional through his/her decisions can support or not support others. Our study aimed to investigate whether academic training can play an essential role in influencing moral reasoning. We used three different conditions: 20 moral personal, 20 moral impersonal, and 20 nonmoral dilemmas to assessed differences in moral judgement between students of Economics, Medicine, and Psychology at their first year and at the end of university training. We observed a difference between school and year of course: psychology students showing more time when asked to read and answer the proposed questions. Moreover, medical students showed a significant increase in sensitiveness to moral issues as a function of academic ageing, whereas such a moral sense regressed from the first to the fifth year of academic training in other students. Gender was also relevant, with women showing an increased response and reading times compared to than men when asked to cope with moral decisions. This study shows that the main factor driving moral decision making is the faculty to which one is enrolled, significantly modulated by sex and academic seniority.

Türkiye'deki Akademisyenlerin İş Tatmini, Rol Stresi ve İşten Ayrılma Niyetlerinin İncelenmesi

Like any other professional group, academic staff always faces various problems and difficulties while performing their duties. Revealing academics' current problems to solve them and ensuring that they are able to work efficiently and peacefully requires extensive research. Therefore, this study investigated the problems of academic staff working at Turkish universities and aimed to determine the current levels of job satisfaction, intention to leave, and role stress formed by role ambiguity and role conflict. The study also aimed to find out whether job satisfaction, role stress, and intention to leave differ according to academics' demographic characteristics. The gender, age, marital status, number of children, academic title, academic seniority, seniority at the university, type of university, field of study, department, administrative role, conducting academic studies abroad, teaching at different universities, average number of weekly courses in the last 3 years, and number of publications in the last 3 years were the demographic variables investigated in the study. The research was conducted on 3578 academics across Turkey. The results showed that academics' level of job satisfaction and role conflicts were moderate, their level of role ambiguity and intention to leave were low, and their level of role stress was low to moderate. It was also found that job satisfaction, role stress, and the intention to leave differed by some demographic variables.

New Identities in Peer Review: Who Are They and Why Are They Important?

Exalted by some people and criticized by others, since the peer review system has been implemented in scholarly journals it has transformed into an effective tool to select manuscripts of scientific merit for publication. Henry Oldenburg, the first Secretary of the Royal Society and creator of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (founded 1665), was one of the pioneers in implementing peer review in scientific journals. He started the peer-review system in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society by inviting 3 members of the Royal Society “who had more knowledge of the matters in question than he, to comment on submissions prior to making the decision about whether to publish.”1 At that time, the development of the peer-review system was linked to the concerns of scientists as science producers and consumers.2 As science producers, they wanted to have their work recognized by publishing in spaces valued by other members of the scientific community. As science consumers, they wanted to make sure that the studies elaborated by other scientists were evaluated with competence.2 The decisions taken by Oldenburg and the Council of the Royal Society to evaluate the quality of the content published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society constituted the foundations of peer review.2 Throughout the history of scholarly publishing, the peer-review process has typically been done by a small community of peers. These peers are defined in literature as “experienced researchers”3 and selected by the editors based on criteria such as academic seniority, academic degree, involvement […]

An internationalised Europe and regionally focused Americas: A network analysis of higher education studies

AbstractThe study on which this article reports investigated the internationalisation of higher education studies by examining collaborations in the form of international co‐authorships. We analyse how network‐based mechanisms, related to structural relationship between authors (preferential attachment, i.e., higher tendency to collaborate among the most productive ones) and node level features (homophily, i.e., tendency to collaborate with similar others), affect higher education co‐authorship networks. We build a bipartite co‐authorship network based on 17,262 publications from 33 specialised higher education journals indexed in Scopus from 1996–2018. Scientific collaboration in higher education mainly occurs within national borders. We found that higher education is not an internationally oriented field of research, with around 90% single‐country publications. A geographical divide was observed between the two largest communities (Europe, Asia and Oceania vs. the Americas) which was also reflected in the research themes addressed by these communities, structured around the known divide between (1) learning and teaching, and (2) policy‐based studies. Preferential attachment was observed to be a network‐based mechanism that contributes to drive the formation of new co‐authorships. Similarly, homophily based on academic seniority and research productivity emerged as a significant explanatory mechanism. We present a methodology for disambiguating the names of higher education institutions. We demonstrate an associated effect on co‐authorship networks. Our research and analysis support the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Gendered Patterns of Unmet Resource Need among Academic Researchers

An expansive body of literature has documented how academia acts as a gendered organization, characterized by disadvantage at multiple levels. Because of data limitations, we know surprisingly little about whether and how access to the resources needed to carry out high-quality research may be gendered. This study begins to fill this gap using a newly available survey of researchers in three disciplines across five European countries. Across a wide range of resources, findings point to marked gender disparities. Women are more likely than men to say that they do not have the resources they need to do their research well and that having them would make a big difference in their work. These findings are robust to controls including academic seniority, suggesting that structural sexism contributes to resource disparities in science. Even after overcoming obstacles en route to research positions in competitive fields, women in science remain systematically disadvantaged.

Using local terminology to measure substance use behaviors among youth in post-conflict Liberia: a mixed methods study

ABSTRACT This mixed-methods study aimed to use local terminology to accurately characterize the prevalence and risk factors associated with substance use and risky health behaviors among school-based youth in Monrovia, Liberia. An 86-question survey was validated using qualitative data obtained from focus groups at two secondary schools in central and greater Monrovia. The revised survey was then administered to 400 students from eight different secondary schools in this region. The observed prevalence estimates for lifetime and current substance use were considerably higher than previously reported among adolescents in the West African region. Among students who were former child soldiers, the rates of current substance use were 5.8–33.8% higher compared to the overall study sample. Male gender, academic seniority, and peer approval of substance use were all found to be strong predictors of current substance use among secondary students. Results suggest the need for targeted, trauma-informed interventions to reduce rates of substance use and risky health behaviors among youth in Liberia and similar post-conflict settings.

Authorship in top-ranked mathematical and physical journals: Role of gender on self-perceptions and bibliographic evidence

Despite increasing rates of women researching in math-intensive fields, publications by female authors remain underrepresented. By analyzing millions of records from the dedicated bibliographic databases zbMATH, arXiv, and ADS, we unveil the chronological evolution of authorships by women in mathematics, physics, and astronomy. We observe a pronounced shortage of female authors in top-ranked journals, with quasistagnant figures in various distinguished periodicals in the first two disciplines and a significantly more equitable situation in the latter. Additionally, we provide an interactive open-access web interface to further examine the data. To address whether female scholars submit fewer articles for publication to relevant journals or whether they are consciously or unconsciously disadvantaged by the peer review system, we also study authors’ perceptions of their submission practices and analyze around 10,000 responses, collected as part of a recent global survey of scientists. Our analysis indicates that men and women perceive their submission practices to be similar, with no evidence that a significantly lower number of submissions by women is responsible for their underrepresentation in top-ranked journals. According to the self-reported responses, a larger number of articles submitted to prestigious venues correlates rather with aspects associated with pronounced research activity, a well-established network, and academic seniority.

Thriving in the midst of liminality: perspectives from department chairs in the USA

The chair position is essential for implementing progressive changes in higher education institutions. However, the position has been unattractive to many faculties due to its ambiguity and the limited training chairs receive prior to assuming the office. Chairs must balance the dual responsibilities of managing faculty and student affairs who they support and evaluate as they implement the mandates from higher administration. Similarly, they shuttle between their managerial roles and faculty roles while balancing work-life demands. Hence, the purpose of this paper was to explore the managerial approaches of chairs in the USA who were serving in departments in the field of educational leadership to learn how they balance their various responsibilities. Fifteen chairs who are members of the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) were interviewed for this study. The theory of liminality was used to understand how chairs serve and manage multiple dimensions of their role and beyond. Overall, the performance of chairs in the study was enhanced by four themes including (a) managing the molecule, (b) people work vs. paperwork, (c) leadership qualities enhance performance, and (d) possessing academic seniority. Based on the findings, we recommend three major support areas for chairs that include providing mentorship opportunities for chairs, advancing leadership role models for chairs, and initiating formal trainings for leadership development.

My Brilliant Friends: Our Lives in Feminism by Nancy K. Miller

Reviewed by: My Brilliant Friends: Our Lives in Feminism by Nancy K. Miller Mary Beth Rose (bio) My Brilliant Friends: Our Lives in Feminism Nancy K. Miller Columbia University Press, 2019, 232 pp. ISBN 9780231190541, $28.00 hardcover. Nancy K. Miller’s My Brilliant Friends: Our Lives in Feminism is an account of her relationships with three other academic women, all well-known and celebrated for their writing and scholarly achievements. “Brilliant,” as she chooses to call them—a clear allusion to the title of the first novel of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan tetralogy— indicates the intense if sometimes problematic attachments she will explore. While Miller occasionally refers to Aristotle, Montaigne, or Cicero, she is not really interested in studying the idea or history of the idea of friendship. Her book speculates intermittently on the relationship between writing a memoir and friendship. Describing her narrative framework, she invokes 1970s feminism and the belief in the political importance of personal experience it engendered. The book examines in intimate and sometimes piercing detail the nature and quality of her attachments with three women: Carolyn Heilbrun, Naomi Schor, and Diane Middlebrook. [End Page 825] Heilbrun, Schor, and Middlebrook are all dead, enabling Miller to give each relationship a defined shape and a completed trajectory, although all three individuals live perpetually in her mind as distinctive and often startling women. Miller’s consciousness is inevitably the frame through which we see all three women, and each relationship emerges colorfully from her viewpoint. We cannot, of course, have their responses. Having received a diagnosis of “incurable but treatable” lung cancer, Miller struggles in this memoir of lost friends with the end of writing and the end of life that they faced (4). While she grieves her three friends, and identifies with them, she herself decides temporarily to reject the position of the mourned: “I still wanted to be the subject; I wanted to be in charge of the story” (4). “Envy has always been my fallback emotion, despite persistent efforts to root it out,” Miller explains, with considerable courage (14). Envy and disappointment indeed play starring roles in the story of the three relationships, in deep and uncomfortable conjunction with love, giving, and empathy. This impassioned intertwining, along with loss, is what gives Miller’s narrative its tension and often bittersweet interest. One of the defining characteristics of Miller’s relationship with Heilbrun is unequal status, at least at first. When they meet, Heilbrun is a full professor at Columbia University, Miller is an untenured faculty member struggling to produce her first book: “I often felt that I provided a kind of entertainment, especially when I was miserable. It’s not that she was cruel; on the contrary. But in the distribution of roles between us, I was the wretched one dealing with life crises—tenure, infertility, depression—she was the rock” (18). Along with academic seniority, Heilbrun has more money, giving wonderful gifts while unable to accept any material presents from Miller. She has children while Miller is unable to, and she has produced more books. In one sequence, Miller reproduces all the affectionate and often witty inscriptions on the books Heilbrun has given her. In turn she recounts two anecdotes. First, she gives Heilbrun a book that is not inscribed to her and later shows her a manuscript in which it would have been relevant to mention all the ways Heilbrun helped and mentored her, but Miller does not do it. When Heilbrun expresses dismay, Miller produces a paragraph in response and shows it to Heilbrun: “I don’t remember what she said when I showed her the paragraph, but I could tell that she was still disappointed. I still can’t fully say why, why I had left her out, why that was not the story I wanted to tell. My ingratitude. Maybe I was the one who didn’t want to think of her as a mentor” (55). Miller is slim and young, while Heilbrun is middle-aged and heavy, and worries about it constantly. There are many discussions of wardrobe, including the anecdote that Heilbrun chooses in her fifties to replace the strenuous female search for fashion and beauty with...

Budin Search for more articles by this author PDFPDF PLUSFull Text Add to favoritesDownload CitationTrack CitationsPermissionsReprints Share onFacebookTwitterLinked InRedditEmailQR Code SectionsMoreHello, Readers!Welcome to the December issue of Near Eastern Archaeology, which comes at the tail end of the New Year’s season. It turns out that New Year’s is, in fact, its own season. It begins in September with Rosh Hashanah (Shanah Tovah, my friends!) and continues in October with the Celtic New Year that begins at sundown on October 31st (Samhain Sona, my friends!). We then finish it all up with the calendrical New Year’s on January first, which rounds out the season. (Obviously, I’m leaving out the July 1st fiscal New Year). I first noticed the seasonal quality of New Year’s when I realized I always started my New Year’s resolutions in October, apparently prioritizing my Jewish and Celtic heritage. At least come January 1 all the groundwork has already been set.This end of the New Year’s season seemed to be a good time to consider changes and developments in NEA over the course of 2019. The most significant was that we changed our peer-review process to a double blind system to keep in line with best current practice throughout the industry. In this way, author identities are unknown to peer reviewers, just as the reviewer’s identities are unknown to the authors. Such practice has been shown to lead to greater parity in publication, both in terms of gender and matters of academic seniority. While it is too soon yet to know how the change will affect NEA in this regard, one clearly noticeable development has been that those invited to review articles but must decline very frequently suggest the (unknown) author of a the article as the best possible alternative suggestion. This has encouraged our assistant editor Julia Hsieh to learn to bang her head against a wall very gently. You would also be amazed how often reviewers now suggest that authors cite their own works in articles…A second change has been to limit the number of Special Topics issues to only one out of every three or (more likely) four issues. While NEA will continue to focus some issues on really interesting topics—of which we have a plethora in the ANE—and will continue to host guest editors for such issues, there was an expressed desire for greater diversity in subject matter (considering that plethora). We look forward to what developments might come…Speaking of that plethora of interesting materials, this issue once again reminds us of the amazing chronological depth of Near Eastern archaeology. Here we go back into the Palaeolithic with Biglari and Shidrang’s article on rescue archaeology in the Kurdish Zagros region. Jumping forward, we see the remarkable mixing of cultures that characterized Bronze Age Hala Sultan Tekke in Cyprus, thanks to Peter Fischer, while John Gaudet gives a light, interesting, and extremely informative look at the role of papyrus in ancient Egypt and, from there, the world. If you read codices, books, or journals (and I know you do): Thank an ancient papyrus farmer! Turning the bend into the Common Era, we have three articles from the Negev, Egyptian Thebes, and Nubia. The first, by Gil Gambash and colleagues, considers the unexpected role of the Judean desert in the acquisition and trade of the Red Sea parrotfish in Roman times (including a recipe for those still looking for something truly different for Christmas Eve dinner, although please do not use actual parrotfish: They’re endangered!). Speaking of Christmas, we then turn to water-jar holders from Thebes, which display some of the earliest Christian iconography in Byzantine Egypt—thanks to Benjamin Durand. Finally, to the south, we have an excellent article by Solange Ashby on funerary offerings of milk libations in Nubia. As I was originally writing this introduction on Hallowe’en (aka: New Year’s), this reminder of the role of the dead in the lives of the living struck an oddly modern chord.Happy Midwinter Festival of Light to one and all! Light the fires on the Menorah or tree (remembering safety first!), and get through the dark times. And for those readers in the southern hemisphere, remember: Winter is coming.
