Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary

ICYMI: we wrote a book. It's a free PDF, but you can also get a physical copy just in time for the holidays. Probably. I dunno. We don't actually get money from it.

This was a labour of love by Hannah & Bruno. Also I helped. Stocking stuffer idea: USB loaded with The #Drosophila Immunity Handbook 🪰
