      I have attended parties where, upon learning that I worked at the hospital, male PhD students openly challenged me on whether I was enrolled as a student. They could only fathom that I worked as a nurse.

      I attended a graduate dinner, at which a male postdoc refused to believe that I 1) had a degree in neuroscience and 2) attended the University of Cambridge. He brought this up continually for ~40 min. No men were questioned in this manner.

      At the start of my PhD, I was told that I would need to personally fund a transatlantic flight to a one-day, training course, or I would be forced to defer the start of my PhD. This cost over $1k. Upon arriving at the course, I saw that a laptop was set up ...

      When I changed labs in the first year of my PhD, I initially struggled. One of the directors immediately proposed that I quit the program. Interestingly, while I could not have worked with that person, they offered to supervise a male student who was in the same position as me.

      During that period, I was the subject of extreme concern regarding labs, and a member of the program forced pointless calls, urging me to be more open-minded with my research. A male student in the same position was left to his own devices.

      A male PhD student who nominated me for a representative position later told me that he did not think I could do it as I did not do research in a wet lab. I'm still unsure as to how those skills would affect my ability to help people feel heard. We had a male rep that year.

      At a dinner, one of my program directors, who has no experience in my field, fervently criticized the entire premise of my PhD, citing ‘huge limitations’ and demeaning my work to ‘better luck next time.’ I was barely able to eat my meal.

      I have been incredibly lucky to have supportive mentors and colleagues, many of them men, throughout my training. In fact, many of the experiences I described involved other women, which only shows how insidious these biases still are.

      I hope that, in sharing this, others who have similar experiences might feel less alone but, more importantly, validated in their gut feeling that this is NOT acceptable. Keep fighting the good fight, friends. /end
