Are you curious about career paths in health & medical research and how to successfully transition into these roles? Join us at #FWCareerTransitions in Syd on 29 Oct ✨

We've asked some very fab #WomenInSTEMM to share their top tips with us. More deets 👉https://t.co/pAx1VvObxV

[Prof Deborah Marsh @djmarsh24]

Very disappointed, & yes, angry, to hear of males trying to discourage young females from an academic career in STEM. That "academic science is not for women" is a tired, boring old stereotype & miles from the truth. Keep the fire in your bellies. Science needs you. #WomeninSTEM

[Dr Anna Singleton She/Her @DrAnnaSingleton]

Woohooo!! Congratulations @RebeccaRaeside on an incredible #PhD !!

Bec’s research has supported the mental health of over 300 adolescents across Australia so far & sky’s the limit ☀️

Plus, 7/8 published chapters 🤯

So proud of you! 🎉👏👏 #WomenInStem @syd_health

[Prof Deborah Marsh @djmarsh24]

Another loss for #ScienceTwitter #AcademicTwitter. There is still good science & thoughts of scientists here ... it is getting harder to wade through to find them. #LinkedIn however feels it's getting stronger for scientists & their messages. I need to learn more about #IRL.

An Acknowledgement of Country is more than just words that are said at the start of a meeting. This can be carried out by anyone & is a statement that shows awareness of and respect for Traditional Custodians and their long & continuing relationship with the land you’re on 🧵3/4

A Welcome to Country is a ceremony carried out by Traditional Custodians to welcome visitors to their Country. It can only be done by Traditional Custodians of the land you're on 🧵2/4
