Thank you to Sonali Das from @wiswb2018 for joining us this afternoon for our #SAJS_Spotlight. Read our latest issue here: https://t.co/iEpCci8TcC #WomenInScience
@SAJS_Official Again, I urge your audience to read through the various papers in this issue that touch upon this very prevalent expectation. Also institutional support is crucial here along with societal support. #SAJS_Spotlight#WomenInScience
@SAJS_Official If we do not have children, where will the next generation of researchers arrive from? Cultural expectations and other expectations are real. It takes time, and will take more time – but we are trying to keep the conversation alive. #SAJS_Spotlight#WomenInScience
@SAJS_Official Those parentw who are converted should help those parents who are not to convey that inter-generational upliftment requires educating both boys and girls. #SAJS_Spotlight#WomenInScience
@SAJS_Official So it is not an easy question to answer. I urge your audience to read the paper by Getachew et al referenced in the paper ‘‘Gender shouldn’t matter because we are all scientists here’’. #SAJS_Spotlight#WomenInScience
@SAJS_Official We understand that not all parents have the opportunity or resources to educate their children, both boys and girls. However, girl children are the ones who generally bear the brunt when resource crunch is there. #SAJS_Spotlight#WomenInScience
@SAJS_Official Inclusion, and role models who can inspire young girls (as well as boys) to realise that a multi-gender research team is a stronger research team. #SAJS_Spotlight#WomenInScience
