🧠 New research co-authored by @lizzieenglish.bsky.social (founder of Women in Neuroscience) reveals over half of early-career women in dementia research report sexism—especially microaggressions & implicit bias that shape confidence and collaboration.

Loved listening to this blog 💗 I packed remaining certificates & trophies from #WiNUKAwards2024 yday & nearly stopped myself doing pretty writing, with femininity too often seen as unprofessional… Glad to be showing @womeninneurouk.bsky.social that we can show up feminine, or however we want 🫶
