STEM sweeties

We are advocating for Canadian #WomenInSTEM. Because STEM is a man's world... sweetie.

Being female is not a universal experience: advocacy for equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM must consider intersections in identity.

She is 8.

My 8yo daughter is going to robotics camp this week, and went super-excited off to her first day this morning. When I asked her afterwards how it was, she said, "Not too good."

She is the *only girl* out of 20 kids in the camp.

It is 2018. How is this real life?

Great job @JBerdahl. In academics crazy bitch = women who are ambitious and independent/outspoken - which makes me just crazy and bitchy! https://t.co/MZiIMQF7vY

[STEM sweeties @STEMsweeties]

@DocDellaire @HandyProfessor @hwitteman there's a large body of work on conscious & unconscious bias towards URMs in STEM.

[STEM sweeties @STEMsweeties]

And this is impact of identity on measurable metrics. Identity also affects often-immeasurable perception.

[STEM sweeties @STEMsweeties]

Recognizing that colonialism, sexuality, citizenship, and other intersections were left out of this list. Our bad. https://t.co/EUS3MY7tKd

@DocDellaire @HandyProfessor @hwitteman gender, race, dis/ability, socioeconomic class all affect ability to publish- thus history & impact.

Great article on the widening gap in space education, to which I alluded above and which I discuss a bit: https://t.co/ar5li93J4i

"Some [students] are never even in the mix, while others get STEM experiences in spades" real talk

[STEM sweeties @STEMsweeties]

@HandyProfessor @hwitteman @DocDellaire as soon as you consider publication history & impact, you must consider intersections of identity.
