On sexual harassment allegations made of Boris Johnson’s father, Nadine Dorries said “I don’t believe it happened. It never happened to me. Perhaps there is something wrong with me.”

Let’s unpack why this is so dangerous:

1) Tweet redo - Freedom of Information data received from UKRI - without typos! In 2019/2020 the UK's Largest funder @UKRI_News awarded £1,684,402,000 to 2715 individuals as Principal Investigators (PIs). Just 25 identified as Black.

Another bland answer from Michelle Donelan on tackling sexual harassment in HE, repeating what we already know, and what hasn't worked. https://t.co/XmzWkWjnUl

From the article... "Women are more likely to discuss authorship with co-authors at the beginning of the project while men are more likely to do so once a manuscript is ready to submit as well as deciding authorship positions without team consultation." - we reccomend a read!

Global survey of more than 5000 scientists finds that women often feel that they receive less recognition for their work than they deserve https://t.co/ZfQzz9JbsR

To tackle gender bias in the sciences, we need collective ownership of the problem. Join us in this discussion facilitated by @UnbalancedSTEM Monday 08 March from 13:00-14:00 GMT. Everyone interested in understanding this problem is welcome to attend. See link 👇🏽 @UCLEqualities

Woke early so watched #PictureaScientist. What a sobering and brilliantly told story story of sexual harassment within STEM - but ultimately heartening because things are slowly changing. Congrats @PictureaSciFilm

[Aoife Kavanagh @AoifeK_101]

Just watched the documentary #PictureAScientist. Infuriating, emboldening and extremely candid, if you get the opportunity to watch, I would HIGHLY recommend
