Some serious girl power on the Gen Neuro team this week! @mayoneurores @WINMinnesota #WomenInMedicine

[S Muehlschlegel MD MPH, FNCS, FCCM, FAAN @SMuehlschMD]

As a former J1-visa holder myself, I join @AANmember in urging my representative to oppose an immigration proposal that would significantly impact the neurology workforce. #AANadvocacy https://t.co/4QR4K0MPnd

[D Mark @DesireeMarkant1]

Definitely #NotJustGuysWithTies . Very fortunate to be able to surround myself with strong women mentors in neurology. @AANMember @OrlyA

[Orly Avitzur, MD, MBA @OrlyA]

Fantastic @GreenJournal article re #neurology pipeline by @jtjordan et al: https://t.co/OL246J9mFW
But 😢to hear that med students still think the stereotypical #neurologist is the older 👨‍🦳with 👓 & a bow tie. Not so! Please REPLY with a photo to show we are #NotJustGuysWithTies

[University of Miami Neurology Residency @MiamiNeuroRes]

Definitely #NotJustGuysWithTies !! Flashback to pre-pandemic times with the strong women in our Neurology residency and fellowship programs! 🧠 #Neurology #NeuroTwitterNetwork #residency

[Yhenneko Taylor, PhD @ytaylorphd]

Wrapped up #ARM20 with an outstanding closing plenary on structural racism in HSR with @tlaveist, @RRHDr, @alanrweil, Dr. Nakela Cook @PCORI and @DrSimpsonHSR. Will be revisiting this and other excellent content available through next year.

Feeling truly empowered after tonight’s SNIS Women in Neurointervention dinner. Such compelling and honest conversations about diversity, negotiation and confidence #SNIS2020 #WomenSupportingWomen @SNISinfo @WNGtweets @SandraNarayanan @YoungNIR @pittneurology @PittStroke

[Ima Ebong, MD @ImaEbongMD]

My #BlackNeuroMentors. These neurologists include #BlackInNeuro and allies who've shaped me. @abhobneuro @bensalem_owen @SidkapoorMD @AmerMalikMD @RachelSalasMD. Also #CharleneGamaldoMD, my forever mentor and the 1st #BlackWomanInNeuro full Professor of Neurology at @HopkinsNeuro

[Howard Liu, MD MBA @DrHowardLiu]

The #MedBikini discussion highlights a longstanding double standard for #WomenInMedicine about what is considered professional dress.

As leaders, we need to stand up for future colleagues.

What docs wear outside of work is their own business.

[Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD]

Hi #MedBikini,

Here is a picture of me in a swimsuit nursing my baby which I use to #normalizebreastfeeding in part because I am a physician.

[Cornita Cannon, MD @candidlycannon_]

I made the decision to wear my natural hair in my professional pictures because it represents my most authentic self. I hope to attract a program that truly values all of me and what I have to offer.💁🏽‍♀️✨#BlackWomeninMedicine

[Ezgi Tiryaki @Neuro_Edu_ET]

Could not agree more with @AasmaShaukatMD. Silence of bystanders adds insult to injury.

We offer a practical workshop on how to stop this. Please join us tomorrow or check the @umnmedschool OFA website for additional dates

[Ezgi Tiryaki @Neuro_Edu_ET]

This is a must read piece and a powerful reminder that physician #LeadershipDevelopment must include the competency of #InclusiveLeadership. It is a teachable & required skill to change the institutional culture.

Let’s do this @tajmustapha_md @shaileyprasad

[Thanh Nguyen 🇺🇦 @NguyenThanhMD]

Congratulations to our graduating fellow Alice Ma @alicenomalice. First female interventional neurologist in Australia. We are beaming for you #ShapeTheWorld #WomenInMedicine #RoleModel @WNGtweets @WOVENstrong @YoungNIR @AbdalkaderMD. Thanks for a great year.

[Anand Swaminathan MD MPH 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @EMSwami]

When I was a resident, Dr. Goldfrank would ask us the same question on every patient we saw:

"What is the lesion in the healthcare system that brought this patient to us today?"

It was a challenge to look deeper into the root cause of emergencies

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

I keep thinking how in the ER when someone rolls in gasping "I can't breathe, I can't breathe" we all jump to our feet and run to assess and help them. It's #1 and 2 of our "ABC's" - Airway, Breathing, Circulation - that comes before any other concern.

[H.E. Hinson, MD MCR FAAN FNCS @HollyEHinson]

Thanks 🙏🏻 to everyone helping spread the word on our research re: gender minorities 🏳️‍🌈 and #epilepsy Learn more here: https://t.co/DbB4tWfxpI
