So today, as we honor the amazing women who have changed the world, let's recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for true gender equality. With science, we can create a world where all women can achieve their full potential. #WomenInScience #ReproductiveJustice @jenngarrison

One day, we believe we can understand ovarian aging and dramatically improve the health and equality of women worldwide. We believe in the power of science to drive #femaleempowerment.

A better understanding of how and why women go through reproductive decline in mid-life could one day allow women greater freedom from her arbitrary biological clock and the negative health-side effects of ovarian decline; greater freedom to make decisions on her own terms.

We cannot celebrate the accomplishments of women without addressing these inequalities. The GCRLE is not only spreading the word to change the narrative, we are building a moonshot scientific effort that will rebalance the scales towards gender equality.

Massive gender differences in leadership exist in every field and industry, especially STEM, and are not improving. Many women report having to turn down promotions because of support for child-bearing.

Symptoms of menopause that can drastically affect a woman's quality of life or career are ignored or shrugged off, medically and professionally.

A lack of medical education on issues that affect every woman, like menopause and fertility, leads to unequal access to proper healthcare. Many medical schools do not require coursework on menopause, a health concern that affects half of all patients.

Reproductive justice is a critical issue that affects every woman. Women must have access to safe and affordable reproductive healthcare, including freedom and flexibility in reproductive choice, in order to achieve true equality.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today, we celebrate the amazing contributions of women to the world and to science. The fight for equality is far from over. Every day, we must push for a better, more equal world for women everywhere. The GCRLE is working to achieve this goal.🧵

For a century, the scientific establishment has neglected and ignored the study of female animals, claiming hormonal cycling was "too erratic" for controlled experiments. New research shows that the status quo has been deeply wrong. #reproductivejustice https://t.co/M7IdbmXeZE

Naked mole rat females live exceptionally long, yet unlike other mammals do not undergo a loss of fertility with age. Why? Dr Miguel Brieno-Enriquez's lab recently broke ground discovering how these creatures keep a pool of healthy eggs late into life. https://t.co/My7XduJtWi

On International Day of Women in Science, we celebrate the women around the world making invaluable contributions to science. Yet there is still a huge gender gap in scientific leadership and funding access. It is our responsibility to bridge this gap to create lasting change.

So excited to be at the beautiful @BuckInstitute for the first ever @GCRLE1 Scholar symposium!! A serious group of kick-ass rock star scientists and clinicians, tackling the unknowns of ovarian aging! Can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow!

Thrilled to be at the @BuckInstitute @GCRLE1 symposium, exchanging ideas with brilliant colleagues who care deeply about furthering the science that our patients urgently need. @jenngarrison - you’re a visionary and I’m beyond grateful to have a seat at this table.

Happy to share our progress on establishing age-relevant preclinical models of #menopause at the @GCRLE1 symposium this weekend @BuckInstitute! #menopause is the most consequential health event for women, and research on #aging is generally still unable to properly model it.
