This week’s BWN Friday post is announcing the virtual conference on “Gender Roles and their Impact in Academia”.

This week’s BWN Friday post is the FoVea Speaker List. From their website, “The FoVea Speaker List, funded by the NSF, is intended to increase the number of women invited to give talks at conferences and other academic events and more generally increase the visibility of female vision scientists. We especially encourage women of all underrepresented groups to add their names to the list.”

This week’s BWN Friday Post is a briefing by Dr. Noni Byrnes, the director of the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR). She covers severals efforts happening at CSR to mitigate bias, including the implementation of a partially double-blind review process for the Transformative Research Awards.

This week’s BWN Friday Post is from Stories of Women in Neuroscience. Dr. Susanne Ahmari shares her story on bridging research with clinical practice and taking “leaps of faith”.
