As someone with chronic illness/invisible disability, I so appreciate platforming @diekmanmdjd.bsky.social and this topic. These issues are so (ironically) under acknowledged and often poorly supported in medicine, which can trickle down to inadequate understanding/support for patients too. 3/x

The coolest postdoc I know is now accepting applications:

🧪🔬THE WITTIG POSTDOC IN FEMINIST BIOLOGY🧪🔬

Our interdisciplinary program @ UW Madison seeks to train the next generation of feminist scientists/scholars of science

Please share widely and read more here: crgw.gws.wisc.edu/scholarships...
Purple and white flyer that contains the the following information: One of the only opportunities of its kind, the Wittig Postdoctoral Fellows Program in Feminist Science offers a fellowship at the intersection of biological/biomedical sciences and feminist science studies. We aim to train the next generation of feminist scientists/feminist science scholars and cultivate an interdisciplinary community of thinkers, practitioners, and advocates. UW Madison has a distinguished history of excellence in these areas and continues to be a dynamic site of research and teaching in feminist science scholarship. Applicants with a new or recent PhD are invited to apply for this two year, fully funded position. We welcome scholars working at the intersection of feminist scholarship and the sciences, including the life sciences, public health, history of science, science and technology studies, or medicine. Fellows will conduct original research mentored by a UW faculty member. This research can be feminist topics within existing research programs in the life sciences (e.g., studies of sex and the variability of sex), implementing feminist methodologies in life science research, or historical, philosophical, artistic, and feminist engagements in life science research. Successful applicants will be paired with a mentor among the UW faculty who has agreed to provide guidance during the fellowship period. For a range of examples of stellar candidates, we’ve included some sample profiles below. The postdoc will also take primary responsibility for planning and executing a feminist science one-day conference. The Wittig postdoc is administered through the Center for Research on Gender & Women (CRGW). For further information, contact the Director of the Center for Research on Gender and Women (CRGW), Christine Garlough, clgarlough@wisc.edu.
