The #FIFAWomensWorldCup is amazing. So grateful to be a part of it. If you have young athletes in your life, get them watching. “Be the reason she stays in sport.” @TuckerCenter @MSMU @IWGWomenSport @WomenSportIntl @WomensSportsFdn @GOGESport

Great take on the #USWNT and #Barbie When will it be ok for women to fail? latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
Wow. What a match! #FIFAWomensWorldCup is on fire!!! 🔥 We had a blast with 40k other screaming fans, most of them Colombian.
With a throng of screaming fans behind them, Colombia shocked Germany in Sydney when Manuela Vanegas headed in a corner in the seventh minute of stoppage time. wapo.st/458ih2W

Dr. Sally King addresses harmful gender stereotypes like the ‘hysterical/hormonal female’ and its negative impact impact, for example on being believed when reporting symptoms and health issues. #SMCR2023 #MenstrualHealth #MenstrualLiteracy @MenstruMatters
Thank you @MenstruationOrg for another spectacular conference. Feeling lifted and inspired. #smcr2023
Great to be a part of #SMCR and share our research on #menstruation and sport. @PlayPowerto @IWGWomenSport @GOGESport @ScotWomenSport
@AGoorevich & @SarahZipp speaking about athlete menstrual experiences. 80% of athletes consider that menstruation impacts negatively their performance and yet this receives very little attention. 'The taboo is the foundation of everything.' #SMCR23 @MenstruationOrg

We need to understand women's bodies ⚠️
82% female football players have reported discomfort in their boots, according to research by the European Clubs Association.
If most male footballers were having issues with their shoes, something would have been done by now. 😡

"Girls aren't born underconfident, they’re held back by gender stereotyping."👗
Thank you to @marieclaire for featuring our research on primary girls and gender stereotypes in their article about finding a home in sport as an adult.

👏👏👏When I work with coaches on #menstruation and sport - they often try to change uniforms/kit, but can't b/c of tradition or rules. Well, if @Wimbledon can make this change, so can your local sport club, league or school. Go tell 'em, coaches!👊@TuckerCenter @JudyMurray
A small change that will help to end period stigma 🎾

Thanks @andy_murray for once again speaking out on behalf of women in tennis. #allyship #Wimbledon And thanks to @JudyMurray for raising her boys right and advocating for girls/women in sport!
Love that @Andy_Murray has called out "disaster" promotional #Wimbledon poster due to the lack of prominence given to women players. #served
Of the 15 players, only six are women, and four of them are at the very back of the queue.

For all my academic moms/mums… It feels unreal that it was 16 years ago today that I became a mom. Untenured, un-PhD’d, unprepared. Spent my first 5 years in academia pregnant or nursing. Not the fast track to success. I thought I’d never “catch up.” 1/
