I was hoping to do one of those feel-good new job announcement tweets: “I’m pleased to announce that I was offered a @GlobalFung Fellowship at @Princeton University”.
Alas, instead, I’m unpleased to announce that I was forced to reject said fellowship due to #sexdiscrimination.
Women in academia face all sorts of subtle & less subtle forms of sexism. And yet, I didn’t expect in 2023 to be discriminated against simply for having the kind of body that can become pregnant. Thank you @Princeton for reminding me what old school sex discrimination looks like.
