"What does an accessible lab even look like? Ask five disabled researchers that question, and they’ll likely give five different answers."

"When I had my first child, I was constantly told, "You should go part time.” Being the rebel that I am, I decided to stay full-time [...] People are always boxing women into what they ‘should be doing’." nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
"As a result, the workplace is a mental minefield for many women, particularly those with traditionally marginalized identities." The situation is exacerbated for WoC and LGBTQ+ women.

Post #1- #femalePI #awareness Our lab has given 3 science dissemination talks to ~12yr old students this year. We showed a lab pic, and asked who was the PI. Several members were guessed as possible PI, but only 1 student guessed a female member. How can we improve this #bias?
I have decided to post a bit about some experiences as #femalePI, as I think that some #awareness needs to be made, and some things still need to #change. I will be sharing some good and not-so-good experiences. Hope this is useful to improve some things !!! 🙂 Feedback welcome!
