OVERVIEW

Leveling the Playing Field: Promoting Women in Academia is organized by American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and will be held on Dec 13, 2022.

Description:
The purpose of this webinar is to discuss the issues facing women who wish to pursue an academic career in Hepatology. The idea behind this is that examining the obstacles and the difficulties will help in identifying possible solutions.

The webinar will start with the trailer of the very relevant documentary “Picture a Scientist” as an introduction to formal presentations, which will examine the problem of academic disadvantage, both in terms of poor recognition of career progression and authorship. Two lectures will be an exemplification of real careers by a junior and a senior faculty member, and lastly, a lecture will be devoted to identifying possible resources.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
