Join us for our first WINGS webinar
Weathering the Storm: Resiliency and Navigating Financial Fluctuations
Tuesday, June 3, 2025 2-3pm EDT
In financially uncertain times, it helps to hear from those who have successfully navigated similar challenges. We'll hear from an engaging panel of accomplished faculty who will share with us what's it's like to look for a faculty position and strategies for maintaining your research program when money is tight. Most importantly, we'll share stories of resilience, which is key when it feels like a lot of things are outside your control.
Join our mailing list through the link above and you'll receive a link to the live webinar and the recording if you are unable to attend

Connect. Empower. Inspire.
As basic science and translational researchers, we understand the unique challenges faced by women in GI academic science. We started WINGS to provide career development, 1-on-1 mentoring opportunities and small group support networks among female GI & liver researchers to help women stay in the academic pipeline and thrive in their research careers.
If you are currently a graduate student/postdoctoral trainee, we see you! As we build our community, we are first prioritizing the needs of faculty, but we have every intention of bringing in early career GI researchers. Sign up for our email list so that you are the first to know when we expand.
