A woman brave enough to publicly call out a Nobel Laureate is a vision for the leadership that we need.

@Iris I was so impressed! Especially how she held it together when they thought that pointing at a woman (who also had immense personal privilege) would silence her.

@jnyrose I as reminded of this quote from https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02101-x

"It is just as important to denounce misogyny when it comes from unexpected sources — such as senior women who have survived the system, have internalized it and continue to replicate it."

Don’t get mad, get equal: putting an end to misogyny in science

Subtle forms of misogyny attack female leadership and coerce women to conform to conventional gender norms. It’s time to call out these behaviours, say Alison Bentley and Rachael Garrett.
