Has a ScienceOnline Women conference ever been suggested? #sciox #sciowomen
Unsettling stats on women in science at @_klburke's blog. Her session Feb. 27 at #scio14 is about change. http://bit.ly/1c83Yub #sciowomen
This recent report on why women leave #engineering will be a great resource for my #scio14 discussion #scioWomen http://studyofwork.com/files/2012/10/NSF_Report_2012-101d98c.pdf …
Subtle gender bias is hard to talk about because you don't always know if it's really happening to you. #scio14 #sciowomen
http://Nsfpower.org study to try to understand why women w degrees in eng leave the field #sciowomen #scio14
Now thinking about my fertility declining while I try to gestate a dissertation. #sciowomen #scio14 http://www.the-understory.com/2014/02/26/women-in-science-reaching-equilibrium/ …
@ScienceOnline Just reminded of my decreasing fertility and how that lines up with the post-doc phase. *sigh* #sciowomen #scio14
NSF study. Reason most women leave engineering not related to family. #sciowomen
NSF study on why women leave engineering: http://nsfpower.org/ "Too difficult" is least common. "No advancement" one of highest #sciowomen
Are you a woman engineer like me? Fill out the research survey on womens' career choices at http://www.nsfpower.org #sciowomen- @ScienceOnline Mansplain-y comments on the screen. "So what if women leave?" Need stats to combat #sciowomen #scio14
20% of women scientists at field sites reported sexual assault to @KateClancy survey. #sciowoman #scio14 pic.twitter.com/AT2qWRluiB
#sciowomen #scio14 :/ Stats ignore women/people who never wanted life-long research career. Get lumped in with "leaving" stats, but planned!- Key questions: Who needs to hear about how women do not advance in science? Who has the power to enact change? #scio14 #sciowomen
Looking around the room at #scioWomen session at #scio14, I can almost count the number of men on my hands. This is part of the problem!- In #scio14 #sciowomen session on Women in Science. More than 80% women in the room.
- @ScienceOnline Who needs to hear about how women do not advance in science? "People not in this room!" *applause* #sciowomen #scio14
- @ScienceOnline To be fair, a lot of the men here I know have gone to the session on being allies. So that's awesome. #sciowomen #scio14
Many women leave science as postdocs. @USC offers maternity fellowships for PhDs/postdocs http://www.usc.edu/programs/wise/programs/pregnancy_support/ … #sciowomen #scio14- @ScienceOnline What to do when colleagues don't believe that disadvantage is real? What about when it's outright vitriol? #sciowomen #scio14
