The Fastest Way to Write a Manuscript that Tells an Engaging Story
Tuesday, July 13, 20212:00 - 3:00 pm
This webinar will discuss the standard IMRAD structure of a manuscript and how this structure was developed to engage readers and ensure all critical elements were included in the text. The IMRAD format is structured by four main sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Attendees will learn how the IMRAD structure tells a story, the most efficient order to draft sections of a manuscript, and what key information to include in each section.

What Lies Beneath: Recognizing & Responding to Identity Harassment in Academic Medicine
Friday, April 16, 2021 (1-hour D&I credit*)

Harassment is a complex phenomenon that is most often motivated by intentions to put people down and push people out of the workplace (Cortina & Areguin, 2021) rather than sexual interests. In this seminar, we will consider the common “myth-understandings” about gender/sexual identity harassment—what it is, what it is not—and harassment’s relationship with workplace incivility. Topics covered will include: contemporary research on identity harassment and incivility, examples of these phenomena in academic medical settings, and strategies (individual and institutional) for addressing these workplace challenges. Attendees will learn to recognize some common forms of gender/sexual harassment that “lie beneath” the surface in workplace settings and possible strategies for responding when they happen. The 45min virtual presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Note: This event is presented as a “Zoom Meeting” and not a webinar. Attendees are encouraged to share their cameras during Q&A.

Presented by: Stephanie A. Goodwin, Ph.D., President of Incluxion Works; Research Faculty, Department of Psychology Wright State University; Visiting Associate Professor, Psychology, Stevens Institute of Technology, Former Program Director for NSF multi-institutional ADVANCE program

ARROW Screening of the documentary: Picture a Scientist
October 23-25, 2020
Picture a Scientist chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we encounter scientific luminaries - including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists - who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.

2018 Events

Leadership isn't a magical gift but a set of skills that you can acquire and practice. It may come more easily to some than to others, but it's within reach of all of us. You just have to want it, be willing to work and dare to take a risk. One of the top suggestions for those aspiring to a leadership position is to become a great communicator. All are welcome to attend an upcoming workshop, “Tailor Your Talk: Communicating Across Temperaments”, presented by Elisha Brownfield, M.D., Strategic Leadership Development Director for MUSC. Workshop topics include: Discovering your temperament style using the PACE Palette, understanding basics of all the PACE temperament style preference types, utilizing practical tips for communicating with people from different styles, and implementing what you learn in an interactive session. The workshop will be held Friday, June 1, 1 to 2:30 p.m. in Bioengineering 112.

All are welcome to attend the Diversity & Ethnic Relations Committee "Coffee Hour" featuring Ebony Hilton, M.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesia & Perioperative Medicine and recipient of the 2018 Earl B. Higgins Achievement in Diversity Award on Tuesday, June 19, 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. in the College of Nursing, room 413.

Mentors and the process of mentoring are well established in the culture of academic medicine and are in fact critical to career advancement. However, despite decades of mentoring, women have not achieved equity as leaders or as professors. A program that has gained traction in the corporate world is less well known or acknowledged in academic medicine, is sponsorship. Sponsorship is not meant to replace mentorship, there are common areas, but sponsorship is distinct from mentorship in key areas. All are welcome to attend an upcoming workshop, “A Sponsor or a Mentor? You Need Both.” presented by Elizabeth L. Travis Ph.D., FASTRO, Associate Vice President, Women Faculty Programs, Mattie Allen Fair Professor in Cancer Research, and Professor in the Department of Experimental Radiation Oncology at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. This session will focus on understanding the key differences between mentors and sponsors, how mentees differ from protégés, how you identify and find a sponsor (or do they find you), how to attract a sponsor, and understand the benefits to sponsors. The format will be a workshop with both didactics and table conversations and report out from each table. Attendees will leave with their own personal “protégé” road map “sponsor” road map. The workshop will be held Monday, June 18, 9 to 11 a.m. in Bioengineering 112.

Speaking Up to Bias: Bystander Intervention & Bias

Tuesday, May 16th – Basic Science, Room 355 – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Attendance counts towards the required Diversity & Inclusion training

Ever wondered “Why didn’t I say something?” after witnessing social bias—a stereotype, a prejudice or discrimination—that happened in your everyday life? You’re not alone. Research suggests that people typically want to say or do something when bias occurs, but in the end most opt not to respond. Deciding whether and how to respond to bias is complicated. Understanding what motivates us to speak up, the challenges we face when doing so, and strategies for effective responding can help bystanders to bias better evaluate their options and select effective strategies.

This interactive presentation by Dr. Stephanie A. Goodwin, Director for Faculty Development & Leadership at Wright State University, will invite attendees to learn about bystander reactions to social biases and how these reactions can help or hinder decisions to speak up. Attendees will apply these concepts to everyday incidents of bias in academia, identifying concrete strategies for interrupting bias across academic workplace, classroom, and social settings.

Sponsored by Women Scholars Initiative, COM Center for Advancement, Recruitment, and Retention of Women in Science (ARROWS) and the Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
