Women Leaders in Academic Research
Join SIO Member Dr. Brad Wood, and others for an invited monthly lecture series highlighting and honoring women leaders in academic research. The honorary lecture series was established as a small effort to help counter the under-representation of women in academic research and the impact of gender disparity and implicit bias on role modeling and mentoring. Topics are open-ended and are geared toward highlighting successful female or other under-represented academic leaders, as role models for trainees.

This series will be held monthly, typically on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 2pm - 3pm EST (14:00-15:00 EST).

Join the NIH for the first lecture of the series, titled Keep Calm and Break Glass: The Gender Equity Imperative on 23 February at 2pm EST with speaker, Carolyn Meltzer, MD. Please click the link below to access the lecture on-demand.
