Years ago when I started my foray into Training & Professional Development and Coaching, it was the women in STEM and Construction who helped launch me!
Article after article, conversation after conversation, my experience is that women see connections, relationships, wholeness.
Thank goodness and thank you to all you amazing women who will not be silenced, who give voice to the great women who have lived before us and contributed is important ways.
Great summary, @Feminist Science! @Celeste Garcia, this lines up well with your chapter in AI Everywhere on the Hidden Architects and your Herstory profiles in @SheWritesAI 🙌🏼
“She feels her demonstrated ability as a scientist is being dismissed and undermined because she likes fashion and chooses to wear mascara…..
It’s supposedly hard to attract women into physics, and this is exactly why. It’s hard enough to be one of two girls in a whole class of boys. It’s harder still when you’re expected to perform ‘science nerd’ in order to be taken seriously.
We want all sorts of women in physics, surely?! “
👆that was me, talking to my daughter’s school today.
She got a 9 in the GCSE but feels like a fish out of water, despite it being her best subject.
It’s all very well talking about ‘women in STEM’ but making girls welcome in the sciences at school is where it starts.
The science nerds, the party girls, the sporty ones… ALL OF THEM!
Hooray for all the women in STEM.
