🚨 NEW PAPER: must-read for researchers, funders & institutions 🚨 👩‍🔬 >50% of female dementia researchers experience sexism in their careers. 🏫 5x more respondents found their institution NOT helpful than helpful in addressing this. ➡️ Learn more: alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

"The most experienced form of sexism was “Double standards,” indicated by ≈ 70% of respondents (n = 85). “Microaggressions” were the second most common. “Misogyny” and “Benevolent sexism” (contributing to the stereotype of gender roles) were also prevalent."

When asked how helpful employers were when issues of sexism were raised… only 6% found them helpful…

Thrilled to share our latest publication in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: a global survey on experiences and perceptions of sexism in dementia research careers. Grateful to my incredible co-authors for their collaboration on this important topic. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
