New ASPIRES survey analyses out now - do university students feel their A levels prepared them well for degree study? Barely more than half of students felt well prepared, with notable differences between STEM subjects and by gender, ethnicity and IMD. blogs.ucl.ac.uk/aspires/

Check out our blog post published by @HEPI_news, based on our research about women's experiences with sexism in #STEM ; read for stats and first-hand accounts

#Women #STEM students are up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism - read more in this blog post by @EEMacLeod and Louise Archer posted by @HEPI_news

Using @ASPIRESscience data, @EEMacLeod found that teaching is a common back-up career. To change this, she recommends:
- Informal teaching experiences
- Better careers information
- Shifting perceptions of the profession

ICYMI Last week we published the main report from the 3rd phase of our study
In it, we compare the (often difficult) trajectories of young people attempting to pursue STEM with those of salmon trying to swim upstream

Great to see our research in @timeshighered today.
@paddywjack focusses on one of the findings from our new #ASPIRES3Research report about women STEM undergraduate students experiencing more sexism than their peers on other degree courses. Read below.
