4.Gendering data care: curators, care, and computers in data-centric biology
AM Gabrielsen. Science as Culture, 2023•Taylor & Francis. The increase in molecular data and the use of computer technologies in biology have led to the emergence of professional biocurators, who populate biological databases and
knowledgebases with high-quality information. Although crucial to life science knowledge production, biocuration is, to a large extent, invisible labour that takes place behind the scenes of data-centric life science. The field suffers from a lack of
recognition and status that has been linked to a language of service and a scientific system that is not equipped.

5.Spanish adaptation of the Gender-Related Variables for Health Research (GVHR): Factorial Structure and Relationship with Health Variables. Díaz-Morales, J. F., Esteban-Gonzalo, S., Martín-María, N., & Puig-Navarro, Y. (2023). The Spanish
Journal of Psychology, 26, e25.
The aim of the present study was to conduct a preliminary study of the Stanford Gender-Related Variables for Health Research (GVHR) adapted to the Spanish population, testing its factor structure, sex factorial invariance and relationship with
health variables. Participants were 438 adults between 19–73 years old (M = 31.90, SD = 12.12) who completed the GVHR and measures of health-related quality of life, psychological health, and health-risk behaviors. The confirmatory factorial
analysis of the GVHR indicated an acceptable fit to the 7-factor structure as proposed for the North American population. Emotional intelligence and independence factors had low internal consistency, therefore, a five-factor model was tenable in
the Spanish population. Sex scalar invariance was tenable, indicating that the factors latent means can be meaningfully compared across sex. Univariate logistic regressions indicated that women reported worse mental and physical health and more
health limitations, but this effect dissipated when gender variables were considered. Caregiver and work strain stood out as the variables related to gender that predicted worse health-related quality of life, psychological health, and health-risk
behaviors. In conclusion, factorial structure of the GVHR may differ from one culture to another. Additionally, the variables related to gender in the GVHR give a better account of the differences in health compared to biological sex.
