In awe of Dr Chakraverty’s powerful quotes from her study on #impostorsyndrome. Lots in STEM feel it, likely it affects more of those in marginalized groups, and #impostorism IMPACTS YOUR DECISIONS AND YOUR SUCCESS! #SciSymp18
JUST ANNOUNCED: The Underground Science Festival 2018!! Unearthing science buried by racism and sexism - it's everything you've always wanted yet never experienced at any other science festival before.

#ImpostorPhenomenon is real and more pervasive in STEM than most realize. #women, #urm groups and #firsgen suffer the most. Check out @STEMpireTalk’s upcoming talk about this with Dr Devasmita Chakraverty at #SciSymp18! https://t.co/hB14HOgqGz
PhD students make sure you follow and connect with other PhD students up here to support each other. In 3-5 years we will be the faculty members inviting speakers to campus, on search committees, & looking for book collabs. We can break the competitive nature of academia.
Important message about workplace culture: we need to actively ensure everyone is included. If someone is left out or ignored, it makes them feel unworthy, as though they don't belong. This is a form of harassment which increases their emotional labour. Do better #inclusioninSTEM
Interesting numbers:
🚀10% of researchers are responsible for 50% of all researchers #scicomm
🚀20% account for 70% of the total.
Note: real numbers are probably even more striking, as those stats are based on participants to our #scicomm actions @cerclefser
