Did you know that women make up nearly half of the world's population and nearly the same percentage of the US workforce? However, only about 25% of STEM professionals in the US are women. #STEMToo Female students in STEM programs are nearly 20% more likely to drop out, and women tend to have shorter STEM careers than men. These statistics highlight the need for gender diversity in STEM and the importance of addressing the systemic barriers that women face in the field. #WomenInSTEM Research shows that women in STEM professions frequently report experiences with sexual harassment from their male coworkers, systemic discrimination, bias (both conscious as well as unconscious), and a lack of career advancement. It's time to challenge the outdated belief that STEM jobs are only for men. While there has been progress since WWII, there is still much work to be done to address STEM workplace cultures to accommodate women and minorities. Their experiences are not contrived or falsified, nor are they disgruntled, inept, or unskilled just because they made a stand and said enough was enough. #BreakingBarriers

This is a major part of the problem. Universities are not enlightened organizations. Instead, this myth significantly hinders positive action. /sh #AmINext #AcademiaMetoo #STEMtoo

In the grievance document whistleblower has repeatedly accused George Kassiotis of telling lies which he denies. A early intervention to reinforce acceptable standards of behaviour very clearly and unambiguously might have prevented what followed #STEMToo

Replying to @BRAINCURES
@TheCrick whistleblower subjected to very disrespectful treatment by George since we were informed about investigation of the lab. From then I have been treated with disrespect, persistently ignored, humiliated, criticised & undermined, intimidated, excluded & also discriminated

#Sabatini #SexualMisconduct #metoo #STEMtoo #STEMgirls grow up. They don't deserve to work in a world class lab with a world class #Predator PhD who turns around and sues them when they speak out about lab bullies & abusers. #SLAPP lawsuit is to silence‼️#misogyny #academicMetoo

“When you’re in the midst of trauma … you’re not going to be thinking about the ins and outs of university policy. Students are not going to see their professors as a de facto arm of the Title IX office” says Allison Ciprian @aecipriano @k_langin #STEMToo

New article for Science I was interviewed for, along with @jjfreydcourage and @LiliaCortina, on how universal mandatory reporting policies are harmful for grad students! science.org/content/article/…

A survey of 3,000 academic and non-academic staff – a quarter of @Cambridge_Uni’s total workforce –found that nearly one in three had either been the victims of bullying and other forms of victimisation or had seen it directed against colleagues in the previous 18 months #STEMToo
