(WIT) is coming up. Please register ASAP for this event to be held on January 18, 2023 from 9AM to 5 PM at the Assembly Building in Pittsburgh, PA. </span></span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#242424;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="fluidplugincopy" style="background:white"><span class="contentpasted0"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;background:white">We hope you will join us for a day of conversation surrounding gender in science and academia. Gender is often improperly
defined because it only refers to an individual's sex at birth. The goals of the symposium are to (1) generate productive conversation around the issues linked to gender and academia, (2) highlight national, international, and local speakers that focus on
sex differences in cancer, and (3) create an actionable list of goals to reduce disparities in academia and science. Acknowledging that gender is not just male or female, we encourage participation from individuals of all genders at this symposium. </span></span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#242424;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
