------------------------------
*Harriet Tubman (1822 – 1913) *was an American abolitionist, humanitarian,
and an armed scout and spy for the United States Army during the American
Civil War. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some
thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved people, family
and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses
known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped abolitionist John Brown
recruit men for his raid on Harpers Ferry, and in the post-war era was an
active participant in the struggle for women's suffrage. After she died in
1913, she became an icon of American courage and freedom.

NE GWiSE is having its first annual Spring to Action event! This year, it
will be a forum addressing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education, hosted by
Tufts University School of Medicine. The goals will be to discuss and
understand the issue of sexual harassment in STEM, learn and share
information concerning the current policies addressing this issue at our
schools, discuss what policy changes we would like to see at each school,
and develop a plan of action moving forward to collectively advocate for
policy change.
Through concrete and collective action, we hope to improve the culture
surrounding sexual harassment in higher education. We welcome current and
alumni graduate students of all genders who are interested in addressing
this issue to attend!

Social hour 4-5pm. Coffee, tea, cookies, and fruit will be served.
POWER’s professional career development seminars focus on the speaker’s
personal experiences, insights into their current work, as well as
work-life integration issues. Dr. Demanuele will discuss what has
contributed to her success, the challenges she has overcome, and advice for
current postdocs. We hope that the interactions will assist postdocs in
navigating their careers and will also help them build professional
connections. Following the discussion we will have a social hour. Feel free
to ask us about POWER or bring suggestions for future events.

Dr. Demanuele received her B.Eng from University of Malta in Electrical
Engineering in 2006. She then pursued her doctoral studies at University
of Southampton in Neural Engineering, Neural Science, and Psychology.
After completing her dissertation in 2010, she became a postdoctoral
researcher at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience
Heidelberg-Mannheim. In 2013 she became a postdoctoral research fellow in
Psychiatric Neuroimaging at Harvard Medical School. She was an Insight
Health Data Science Fellow in 2016 and became a Data Scientist at Biogen.
