Thank you @SfNtweets. I am truly honored and thrilled for this recognition. Congratulations to @CMillerLab! Co-founding @in_pwn with @CMillerLab to promote & improve the overall experience of women in STEM has been enriching and an extremely rewarding experience. 1/2
Congratulations to Courtney A. Miller (@CMillerLab) from @scrippsresearch and @Ghazaleh Sadri-Vakili (@GSVLab) from @MassGeneralNews on winning the Louise Hanson Special Recognition! #SfNAwards20

Wicked fun project to work on during my time @mtholyoke in Dr. Ken Colodner's lab. Happy to see the tracheal system get some recognition!
4 years. 250 people. 2.7 million edits to proofread 127,000 neurons. The fly connectome is here!

We are thrilled that the FDA has approved Tofersen for SOD1 ALS! Tofersen becomes the second approved therapy for ALS in less than a year. Read the Healey & AMG Center's full announcement: massgeneral.org/neurology/al…

It happened. Today, @US_FDA granted accelerated approval for Tofersen.
This is a huge day for the entire ALS community and, in particular, the families who have SOD1-ALS. Today, they finally have some hope.

It was a pleasure to have you there as a mentor. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise!!
Such an Inspirational night at the "breaking the barriers for young woman in science" social #SFN22 !! Thank you @GhazalehSadri-Vakili for inviting me and for all of the amazing work and initiatives you do for woman. You are a truely one of a kind!!

Excited to be presenting our latest results at #SFN22!! if you are headed to the conference come to say Hi at#453.22/DM me, and let's meet!

I understand the defensiveness, @CMillerLab has dedicated a lot of time and effort to DEI, through PWN and outside of it. The comment from @drugmonkeyblog is valid; we will reflect on it and improve. It could also have been delivered differently to really encourage discussion.
Sadri-Vakili lab retweeted
@drugmonkeyblog, 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
Maybe the white women* should humbly attend socials for people of color instead of inviting POC to a social focused on white women.

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

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/
Sadri-Vakili lab retweeted
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/

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/

We're super excited to have @diane_lipscombe, Professor of Neuroscience at Brown and former @SfNtweets president!
Sadri-Vakili lab retweeted
Two amazing groups of women in neuroscience (and others!) At @SfNtweets . Same time same hotel. Let us mingle and network! @network_alba @carmensandi10 @mike_yassa @CMillerLab
Mark your calendars, our social is💥BACK💥@SfNtweets 2022! Mentors, of you're interested in participating, please DM @GSVLab, @CMillerLab, @kelseytyss, or @AnaclaraBob! Can't wait to see you all in San Diego 🤟

Another mentor we are excited to count on is Dr. Liz McCullagh @ZaarlyLiz, Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University, a long-time advocate for women in STEM and co-founder of @Gage_500WS.
