Researchers from MIT and elsewhere designed a communication framework that enables academics to ask for research help on social media using meronymous communication, in which the asker only reveals certain verified aspects of their identity. They found that meronymous communication encouraged people to ask questions they otherwise might not have for fear of judgment from more senior scientists (Credits: MIT News; iStock).

Have you ever felt reluctant to share ideas during a meeting because you feared judgment from senior colleagues? You’re not alone. Research has shown this pervasive issue can lead to a lack of diversity in public discourse, especially when junior members of a community don’t speak up because they feel intimidated.
