Women in Neuroscience empowers women and girls to optimize their careers in neuroscience and STEM in order to bridge gender inequalities. We achieve this through different modalities of improving networking opportunities for women in neuroscience; running the Neuroscience Journal Club; organizing lectures & workshops; disseminating information on grant opportunities & post-doctoral training; teaching women to have work-life balance; hosting women’s health seminars; running NEURO4GIRLS outreach program; discussing the challenges that women face in moving through the ranks of academia and building capacity in STEM through outreach and public engagement.
