In a post-COVID world, how long will it take for things to return to ‘normal’? This is a question posed universally across every discipline, country, and gender. In a profession where advancement is tied to the number of publications, where equity and diversity discrepancies have only just come to the surface, and where ‘normal’ was only just beginning to include an equitable place and space for female researchers, female academics will arguably have a long road ahead. Early evidence highlighted in a recent article in Nature suggests that signs are already pointing to a decrease in productivity for female researchers (Minello, 2020). This, for many, comes as no surprise.

失地：女性学者在大流行后世界面临一场艰苦的战斗

在后 COVID 世界中，需要多长时间才能恢复“正常”？这是每个学科、国家和性别普遍提出的问题。在一个进步与出版物数量挂钩的职业中，公平和多样性差异才刚刚浮出水面，“正常”才刚刚开始为女性研究人员提供公平的位置和空间，女性学者可以说会前路漫漫。Nature 最近的一篇文章中强调的早期证据表明，有迹象表明女性研究人员的生产力正在下降（Minello，2020 年）。对于许多人来说，这并不奇怪。
