#STEM has advanced on gender equity in the past decade. We know the issues and solutions, but need more action. As part of International Day of Women & Girls in Science with @RoyalSocietyVic this year, I joined a panel of informed STEM leaders for a deep-dive into STEM curiosity, creativity, challenge and fun. Beamed from the halls of power in Victoria this reignited the #diversity & #inclusion conversation. Read & watch here: https://new.parliament.vic.gov.au/news/general-news/women-in-science/

“In STEM, as in wider society, individuals may experience direct or indirect discrimination as a result of their gender, sexual orientation, race, or socioeconomic background. Such disadvantages are compounded for members of more than one of these groups. … Intersectionality recognises the interconnectedness of social categorisations & how these combine to create overlapping systems of disadvantage and/or discrimination.”

Scientists with multiple NIH grants are overwhelmingly male and white.

“… the @NIH Centre for Scientific Review is changing its review process …. investigators will be rated ‘fully capable’ or ‘additional expertise/capability needed’, and research environments will be rated ‘appropriate’ or ‘additional resources needed’.”
