[Gilly Forrester @ForresterGilly]

The decentralised structure & breadth of disciplines represented by @NetworkSofar is stunning! 30 founding members/15 institutions showcasing non-linear non-traditional career trajectories supporting rise of women into senior research & industry roles. Embrace the wiggly road!

[Dr Michelle Newman @MichelleNewman0]

As someone on a ‘wiggly road’, i often forget the strength that comes from those turns & challenges & find myself focusing on the negatives. It was great to be reminded of the value of what I brought with me and that I’m not the lone ‘unusuual’ path walker #IWD2021 @NetworkSofar

[Karien Kitshoff @KKitshoff]

What a lovely talk by @RCNeaman at the @NetworkSofar event!
Rachel gave me some lovely advice to not sell myself short as 'just a 3rd year student'. Thank you for the powerful words #Ihavevalue #IWD2021
