The academic system needs an overhaul. As I sit here cuddling my newborn while on mat leave it is becoming increasingly clear that even though we are trying to support women in academia, the systems need to be fixed first. Just trying to get an accepted paper published is so hard
It might be a bit late but if you are attending #COSPAR2021 then try and attend a range of timeslots, otherwise you are only interacting with those in your time zone!!!
@MihoJnvr I'm an Aussie and was so excited for COSPAR in Sydney until the world changed, the in person event has been in planning for a long time and then they have had to pull this together, I haven't attended other virtual conferences yet, but I definitely empathise with the organisers
Love this partnership with astrophysics. One of the pure joys of working in @NASA Science is the great collaborations between divisions! #BetterTogether
