I’m teaching a 3 week endocrinology summer class for high school students in a couple weeks - trying to keep them busy/interested - are there any endocrinologists out there that could Skype with my class?? Or basic researchers that study hormones?

Good article on gendered division of academic labour. But it’s not just that women do more ‘housekeeping’, it’s that what women do is viewed as ‘housekeeping’ (rather than leadership) because women do it. wonkhe.com/blogs/women-profe…

#womeninSTEMM @WomenSciAUST have some fixing to do for our Engineering sisters. #INWED18 13.6% of all engineers in Australia are women - this is not OK and not consistent with countries like China where women make up about 40% of Engineering jobs. teapawt.org/claylucas/status/10100… – at Melbourne, Victoria

Academic organisations are 2nd only to the military in terms of incidence of sexual harassment, new report confirms. Current policies are desperately inadequate & real reform requires a fundamental shift including funding & supervisory models for students nytimes.com/2018/06/12/scien…

Be the support crew! Look out for each other. If you're paying attention, it will become obvious when someone needs your help. Actively open doors and provide opportunities for professional development. Be part of the change we desperately need #kindnessinscience #inclusioninSTEM teapawt.org/lindaunobel/status/100…
"Find your support crew. Science is a career that is littered with failures and it’s really difficult to get through if you don’t have people to support you." #LINO18 young scientist Amy Shepherd's advice for other scientists ow.ly/IbkI30kuHEf @amylasenz @Women_Research
