Despite the incredible success of Greta Gerwig's "Barbie, researchers say progress for women directors hasn't progressed.
Women comprised only 5.6% of directors of the top-grossing 1,600 films from 2007 to 2022, according to @USCAnnenberg's annual study.
"White male directors benefit from repeat opportunities more often than women and people of color," the report's authors, Stacy L Smith, Ph.D., Katherine Pieper, Ph.D., and Sam Wheeler, wrote. "Hiring women and people of color more than once across popular motion pictures is one important solution for change."
@SDSU's Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film also reported progress for women directors has stalled.

“…our findings—that women’s voices on Twitter appeared to be less influential and have less reach than men’s—suggest that these forums may do little to improve gender parity and may instead reinforce disparities.”
I wonder if things have changed since 2019? Who are your favorite #WomeninSTEM accounts so we can all follow and amplify!

Still shocking that in 2023 we can have a panel with only one woman. @CVCTForum had an entire session one year about the need for inclusion of women trialists and investigators but this does not mean one is enough.
Please let’s do better
Apparently, we've regressed in the last 8 years. Big time. This is @JustinTrudeau boasting about his gender-balanced cabinet in 2015. Now a Women's Health committee has one woman on it. @GenderAvenger@ManelWatchUS
Men: Don’t use professional social networks like LinkedIn as dating apps. Doing this often makes women feel uncomfortable in such networks, limiting their access
