Today I celebrate men who support women to fulfil their dreams, especially when those dreams are outside the comfortable gender boxes we put them in. Those brave men who are gentle, nurturing, supportive, caring...sensitive. You make a difference. #InternationalWomensDay

Hearing from @OWSDcoordinator Tonya Blowers and OWSD-@ElsFoundation Award winner @UduakOkomo this morning at #ESOF2020, about how COVID is impacting maternal and neonatal health in The Gambia, and how OWSD supports research like Dr. Okomo’s.

Wow! It's an honor to be shortlisted for the @nature Research Awards for Inspiring and Innovating Science, in the Science Outreach category - and extra exciting to be able to share the news at #ESOF2020 this week in our home city of Trieste. https://t.co/JHtPDvbHxY
