It was such a pleasure mentoring the students from Northside Christian College. I was really amazed at how much enthusiasm they had for research and problem solving. The #STEMM future is bright! Our discussions have convinced me! No more fast fashion!!

Only 3 Australian states mention a female scientist's work in their yr 11 and 12 coursework - fuelling the ‘lone male genius’ narrative. @WomenInSTEMAu: the "narrative that old white men are responsible for all scientific discovery is embarrassingly dated" smh.com.au/education/where-a…

"If 58% of your staff are female, but only 36% of the senior professors... you've got to ask yourself, 'What is it in the way we lead and the way we operate that's given rise to that"? #womeninSTEM @Sydney_Uni VC @mscott on @QandA on working with SAGE to drive cultural change:

PhD students and EMCRs - this is a great opportunity to mentor the next generation of scientists. I did the @brainstemorg Innovation Challenge last year and it was so lovely to meet and work with my clever and motivated bunch 👍
Our 17th Innovation Challenge is coming up quickly and we need mentors! If you are a PhD student, early or mid career researcher that is interested in helping the next generation find their voice & interest in STEM - click the link to register. brainstem.org.au/mentors.htm…

Dr Isabel Clifton Cookson was a pioneering paleontologist and one tough 'Cookie'. She overcame many obstacles to be one of the first female professional scientists in Australia at @museumsvictoria & @UniMelb. #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInScience fal.cn/3wHsY
