A new initiative: " .. to assess and enhance the status of women in STEMM fields and promote greater inclusivity and equality in the realm of S&T .. create a supportive and empowering environment for women scientists across India." wistemm.in

🔈Spotted a new website called IAP-WiSTEMM. A joint initiative of the 3 academies IASc, Bengaluru Indian National Science Academy (INSA) & NASI, it describes itself as "an inclusive one-stop resource for women working in India in any area of STEM & allied fields". Anyone have more info? wistemm.in

Attention organelle enthusiasts!! I am beyond thrilled to introduce Nellie: a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D/3D live-cell microscopy. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2403.13214 github: github.com/aelefebv/nellie 🧵1/N

Deeply disappointed that #manels are still a thing in 2024. Requesting my colleagues from IISc Bangalore, Raman Research Institute and IIT Bombay to reconsider their participation in this event. There is no dearth of excellent women researchers in Biophysics in Indian unis!

Happy to see this online! This report contains our analysis of BiasWatchIndia 's data from 2020-23. Some stark statistics here. I hope all stakeholders, incl unis & funding agencies take notice and importantly, action. Thanks to @CommsBio_MB for a smooth editorial process!

Looks like a fun conference - but super disappointed with the representation of women (<25%). Surely, there are several fantastic women scientists who could be invited? BiasWatchIndia Mohit Kumar Jolly Ramray Bhat EMBO IISc Bangalore

Thanks to RMS for this incredible honour!
