WCPG2017 Gender Gap Session

PGC Consortium @PGCgenetics

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

@WrayNaomi Remember women are not the only group with a "gap" issue in science, if we want men to support women, must support others too. #WCPG2017

Karen Hodgson @KarenHodgePodge

@WrayNaomi @thaliaeley talking about initiatives for early career support she leads at IOPPN, always preferentially taken up by women. #WCPG2017

Illumina Live Events @illuminaLive

The line of @IntSocPsychGen delegates to share and discuss solutions to support women in their science careers is inspiring #WCPG2017 pic.twitter.com/nEr4WykL8s

@WrayNaomi @thaliaeley @thaliaeley; institutes "nudged" into doing these things by Athena swan program but has had huge impact on working environ #WCPG2017

Karen Hodgson @KarenHodgePodge

@WrayNaomi @thaliaeley Also, anyone else notices this is the first session I've been in where majority comments come from a woman rather than a man? #WCPG2017

Karen Hodgson @KarenHodgePodge

@WrayNaomi @thaliaeley Discussing how to improve panel ratios etc, give opportunities to women. I know @cathrynlewis has a great ref on how to get women on panels

Gerome Breen @psychgenomics

Everyone should go to the ISPG board meeting and suggest guidelines for female ratio on the board #WCPG2017

Karen Hodgson @KarenHodgePodge

Can we tackle the competitive atmosphere in academia to make it all inclusive to all? #WCPG2017

Cynthia Bulik @cbulik

#WCPG2017 @WrayNaomi & audience member talk about differences in communication styles. Interrupting etc. This is actually really important

Dr Cathryn Lewis @cathrynlewis

Professor Sir Mike Owen on importance of beta-males - too many high-ego male leaders in academia (and self identifies as beta! ) #WCPG2017

Karen Hodgson @KarenHodgePodge

Communication training for addressing the "interruption issue".Noticing the styles of those in your grp to encourage contributions #WCPG2017

Heated debate about gender gap in the field, good to see there is a place we can talk or hear about it. Kudos to #WCPG2017 @IntSocPsychGen pic.twitter.com/E6EDsLZiAE

#WCPG2017 Women are both paid less & work harder in their job & they work harder at home. Men need to do more at home.

#WCPG2017 Brava @WrayNaomi & bravo to the panel for focusing on solutions & not just reiterating the problem. Now must transition to action!

Prof Thalia Eley 💙 @thaliaeley

Ray DePaulo from John Hopkins asked me to tweet a link to this gender pay review following WiG session #WCPG2017 hopkinsmedicine.org/som/Forms/2014…

Prof Thalia Eley 💙 @thaliaeley

The purpose was to analyse then address gender inequality. An example to other universities.
