I recommend @HBAnet conferences & chapters. Although designed for women in business, these workshops & circles of support are just as applicable to develop leadership & mentoring for women in academic science. #WCPG2017

Illumina Live Events @illuminaLive

JG: Importantly, working on salary transparency to begin discussions on how to improve equality #WCPG2017

#WCPG2017 My thoughts. Must distinguish between mentorship & sponsorship. Stick your neck out for junior scientists. Sponsor them

Men need to model issues too-attend events like this and also model good work-life balance, behaviours that are inclusive to all #WCPG2017

PGC Consortium @PGCgenetics

#WCPG2017 My thoughts. Men put junior men up for awards more than women. Both women & men need to nominate women more (think Nobel 2017)

Discussion time at the gender gap talk, what solutions do the audience have? #WCPG2017

#WCPG2017 Sponsorship means introducing your junior ppl strategically to other senior scientists. Having their backs. Promoting them.

@WrayNaomi Mentorship (give advice) sponsorship (putting people forward). Be a sponsor for someone if you see opportunity. #WCPG2017

Daniel J. Mueller 🧠🔬 @mueller_dj

#WCPG2017 Gordon: Anyone who has women in their lab, should attend sessions addressing gender gap issues.

Karen Hodgson @KarenHodgePodge

@WrayNaomi N. Carolina experience; snr women went of crusade to gather data, and seniority allowed them to put their neck out to push issue ##WCPG2017

Dr Cathryn Lewis @cathrynlewis

#WCPG2017 @smeltzerb talking on importance of women standing up against inequality, asking difficult questions. And persisting

Cynthia Bulik @cbulik

#WCPG2017 @smeltzerb Something positive from #UNC SOM. 5 senior women (about to retire) started an equality crusade. Stuck their neck out.
