TODAY'S DEBATE: Are men just too complicated to bother with in clinical trials?

[Dr Mary McMillan @accidental_sci]

When I was younger I wish people had shown me that #Science was a place I could belong. So this @WomenScienceDay I’m telling that to all budding #scientists out there...

Scientists who leave academia aren’t dropouts. They’re scientists.

Yet another downside of having bullies as your academic role models & mentors #KindnessInScience

[STEMiniSTAR 🌈 @STEMiniSTAR]

Mentorship Malpractice
Fantastic summary of this JAMA article by @THilalMD. https://t.co/QbmoenKkC8 #WomenInSTEMM #WomenInTech #InclusiveSTEMM

[Talal Hilal 🩺 @THilalMD]

However, mentor-mentee relationships are, by definition, unequal. Mentees are more vulnerable and more likely to disproportionately suffer in a dysfunctional relationship. The paper defines mentorship malpractice as behavior that puts a mentee’s academic career at risk.
