Wonderful and important piece by Daniela Caballero Días 🇨🇱 (@Dani_Caballero_ ), a postdoctoral fellow in @McMasterEng , on why we must continue to support women in Engineering, especially Latin American/Latinx women engineers!

@McMasterU

[Daniela Caballero @Dani_Caballero_]

I'm happy to share this piece on why we must continue support women in engineering.

Today, we remember in Canada the victims of the tragedy in Montréal 35 years ago.

Yes, women belong in engineering https://t.co/RwqGDQaSwK via @thespec

[Rodrigo Narro Pérez @RodrigoNarro]

Ethnicity/racial data is important but it must be done well.
This report from Stats Canada excluded people who identified as "Latin American" & any other group (i.e. White, Black) perpetuating the stereotype that Latin Americans/Latinx communities all look the same/are one race.
