致编辑：2020年3月，我们在精神病学和行为科学系的早期职业女性教师队伍聚集在一起，参加了“性别平等工作进展小组”的成立大会。与大流行相关的关闭和取消的声音越来越大，我们谁也无法想象我们的生活将如何被打乱。尽管有很多不确定因素，我们的小组还是承诺定期（现在是虚拟的）会议。我们最初的目标是合作，并为促进科学劳动力中的性别平等的研究提供同行指导。这封信的目的是分享我们收集到的经验和教训，希望它可以促进其他早期职业教师的支持性同伴指导小组的发展。最初，每月会议的结构是为了促进小组对一两个正在进行的性别平等研究项目的反馈。尽管我们充满活力和热情，但我们缺乏为这些项目提供的专门资金，我们中的许多人在大流行期间面临着额外的挑战。与学术界女性所认为的许多“隐形”工作类似，我们在“空闲”时间进行了这项研究。随着时间的推移，我们小组的范围扩大了；除了研究建议，我们开始严重依赖彼此的个人和专业支持，特别是在疫情加剧、“工作与生活平衡”变得难以捉摸的情况下。尽管对我们时间的要求越来越多，我们还是继续开会，因为这个小组已经成为我们急需的生命线。作为“处于最激烈时期”的同行，我们特别有能力分享独特的策略，以解决初级女教师面临的突出问题。考虑到政策、程序、文化和气候随着时间的推移而变化，听取同行的最新经验和获取最新知识尤其有帮助。我们的一些会议主题包括管理
To the Editor: In March 2020, our cohort of early career women faculty in a Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences gathered for the inaugural meeting of a" Gender Equity Works-in-Progress Group." Rumblings of pandemic-related closures and cancellations loomed large, and none of us could imagine how our lives would be disrupted. Despite much uncertainty, our group committed to regular (now virtual) meetings. Our initial goal was to collaborate and provide peer mentorship for research that advances gender equity in the scientific workforce. The purpose of this letter is to share our experiences and lessons gleaned, in the hopes that it may facilitate the development of supportive peer mentorship groups for other early career faculty.Initially, each monthly meeting was structured to facilitate group feedback on one or two ongoing gender equity research projects. Though imbued with energy and enthusiasm, we lacked dedicated funding for these projects, and many of us faced additional challenges during the pandemic. Akin to much of the “invisible” work women in academia assume, we conducted this research in our “free” time. Over time, the scope of our group expanded; beyond research advice, we began to rely heavily on each other for personal and professional support, particularly as the pandemic intensified and “work-life balance” became elusive. Despite increased demands on our time, we continued our meetings because the group had become a much-needed lifeline. As peers “in the thick of it,” we were especially well-positioned to share unique strategies for navigating issues salient to junior women faculty. Hearing about recent experiences and acquiring up-todate knowledge from our peers was especially helpful given the evolution of policies, procedures, culture, and climate over time. Some of our meeting topics have included managing
