Articles of Note

AAMC News, October 2, 2019:
Research shows that almost 40% of women physicians go part-time or leave medicine altogether within six years of completing their residencies. Learn what's behind the early exodus - and what pioneering institutions are doing to entice more women to stay.
 
Inside Higher Ed, October 2, 2019:
The metaphor can have an especially negative impact on women and underrepresented groups, argues Wendy L. Hill.
 
Time.com, October 2, 2019:
In 2018, there were more men named James running Fortune 500 companies than there were women. This year, only one CEO on that list of 500 is a woman of color. Women are 51 percent of the population but hold only 24 percent of the seats in Congress.
My reaction to facts like these is a complicated mix of outrage and optimism. I imagine I'm not alone. It's frustrating-even heartbreaking-to confront evidence of the many ways our country continues to hold women back.
 
The Scientist, October 3, 2019:
As we await the announcement of the 2019 Nobel Prize winners, it's time to question why female scientists still lag behind their male colleagues.
 
AAMC CFAS News, October 4, 2019:
AAMCNews reported on research out of the University of Michigan showing that nearly 40% of women physicians move to part-time work or leave medicine altogether within six years of completing their residencies. Work-family conflict appears to play a significant role in the exodus, along with gender harassment, salary inequity, and gender bias, said the piece.
 
AAMC CFAS News, October 11, 2019:
But where are the women? A piece in ABC News relayed the frustration over the continued exclusion of women from the ranks of Nobel laureates.
 
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, October 14, 2019:
Peggy Lewis of Trinity Washington University says the ability to listen is crucial.
 
Inside Higher Ed, October 15, 2019:
Female academics have about half the followers of men on Twitter and wield otherwise diminished influence there, according to a new study. The analysis pertains to medicine, but women across fields say the findings ring true.

Brand New Twitter Chat:   #GFATalks  2nd Tuesday of the month
The GFA Communications Committee has been exploring new communications options for sharing ideas and growing the GFA community. Social Media, in particular Twitter, is one of these options. Many of us have enjoyed using Twitter to connect and share valuable information during the GFA Professional Development and the AAMC Learn Serve Lead conferences, but we would like to continue these conversations year-round. We invite you to join us for a pilot program using Twitter chats to discuss topics relevant to faculty developers. Each chat will begin on the second Tuesday of the month at 7pm CST/8 pm EDT, last thirty minutes, and can be found using the hashtag #GFATalks. Committee members will prepare questions and facilitate discussion. Transcripts of the chats will be posted on the Listserv for those who couldn't participate.
2nd Tuesday of the month 7-730CST/8-830EDT
November retention (11/12/19)
December inter-professional faculty development
January mentoring programs best practices
February organizational finances

  2. Set up your own Twitter account, instructions here: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/create-twitter-account
  3. On the day and time of the twitter chat, search #GFATalks on Twitter.  You will see a tab of "top tweets" and "latest tweets".  To follow the conversation in order, watch "latest tweets" where you can watch everyone's posts in real time.  Be sure to refresh the screen periodically.
  4. If you want to not just watch the conversation, but join in:  click one of the icons below the tweet and you can:  retweet (post that comment to your twitter feed), retweet with a comment (add an introductory comment when you post that comment to your twitter feed) like (click the heart), or reply to the individual who posted.  Practicing ahead of time is helpful.

The Wall Street Journal, October 10, 2019:
  The Museum of Modern Art re-opens after a $450 million expansion, with more works by women and overlooked artists in galleries that mix painting, sculpture and other media
