Our congratulations to Shirin Heidari on the recognition of her work on gender equity, in a recent Lancet Perspectives Profile article, Shirin Heidari: towards gender equity in health research.
Shirin is the Executive Director of GENDRO, Senior Researcher at the Gender Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute in Switzerland, and a long-time contributor and active member of EASE, as mentioned in the Lancet article:
“As an elected council member of the European Association of Science Editors (EASE), in 2012, Heidari established and co-chaired a Gender Policy Committee, hoping to shift the approach taken in research design, implementation, and communication towards a better integration of sex and gender dimensions. That led to the development of the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines”
