Two amazing groups of women in neuroscience (and others!) At Society for Neuroscience (SfN) . Same time same hotel. Let us mingle and network! ALBA Network Carmen Sandi Mike Yassa Courtney Miller, PhD
Dr. Liz McCullagh Gage—Discover Brilliance We're super excited to have Diane Lipscombe, Professor of Neuroscience at Brown and former Society for Neuroscience (SfN) president!
Drug Monkey, your tweet is irresponsible and uncalled for. We've been hosting this at SFN since 2008. Have you attended? Pretty sure I've never seen you there or you'd know DEI is at the heart of all we do*. Pick on people that aren't trying to do good. *NotAllWhiteWomen
Drug Monkey PWN was founded in 2007 to support all women in science and we've been doing that for the past 15 years under that name. As postdoc co-founders, we were grappling with things like sexual harassment, scientific bias and negotiating for what we're worth. Everyone has always been 1/
Drug Monkey welcomed, but many years ago we realized those experiences aren't unique to women so we widened our lens. A single flyer on twitter for our recurring social that has had hundreds of attendees each year can't capture our long history and extensive efforts to support all young 2/
Drug Monkey scientists. We'll gladly update our flyer to more clearly convey this. We constantly strive to lift others up. Feel free to email me next time for a constructive conversation. The last outcome we should want is for people to stop trying to make scientific experiences better 3/
Drug Monkey for those coming up behind us because it's safer to quietly focus on yourself. You know where to find me, I still have my scripps email
Marina Courtney Miller, PhD Drug Monkey I understand the defensiveness, Courtney Miller, PhD has dedicated a lot of time and effort to DEI, through PWN and outside of it. The comment from Drug Monkey is valid; we will reflect on it and improve. It could also have been delivered differently to really encourage discussion.
