There is data showing women are under cited.
To combat this I start every talk with a slide where I set up the talk but only with work from a single woman’s lab. It lets me highlight the amazing work done by women and remind people of papers they should be citing!

Every year on my PhD anniversary @UKCoachCalipari sends me the same picture of me and my fam at my defense. ❤️
He then reminds me that he had no idea what I was saying. Said he heard “dopamine and a bunch of verbs” 😂

And now Sara is a Chair and I’m a faculty member and we have the power to fight to change things. So don’t listen to that flawed nonsense. Work for women. Thank me later.
