Still works for #IWD2024..... Thanks @KateHelmstedt!
Hire women, give women raises, tell women the secret unspoken parts of academia. Bring women onto papers, into rooms, onto grants. Work with us and talk to us and defer to our expertise. And stop talking every now and again to give us a chance to speak #IWD2023
