Great to see our research in Times Higher Education today. Paddy Jack focusses on one of the findings from our new #ASPIRES3Research report about women STEM undergraduate students experiencing more sexism than their peers on other degree courses. Read below.

ICYMI Last week we published the main report from the 3rd phase of our study In it, we compare the (often difficult) trajectories of young people attempting to pursue STEM with those of salmon trying to swim upstream Read the report here: discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/1018…

Male science students “ignore and belittle” female classmates: as many as half of women on #STEM degrees report being victims of sexism, with universities’ response seen as falling short. Paddy Jack reports UCL ASPIRES Research #WomenInSTEM bit.ly/47Kv7q7

Using UCL ASPIRES Research data, Dr Emily MacLeod (she/her) found that teaching is a common back-up career. To change this, she recommends: - Informal teaching experiences - Better careers information - Shifting perceptions of the profession edu.rsc.org/opinion/why-we…… #scied #teachertwitter

New ASPIRES survey analyses out now - do university students feel their A levels prepared them well for degree study? Barely more than half of students felt well prepared, with notable differences between STEM subjects and by gender, ethnicity and IMD. blogs.ucl.ac.uk/aspires/
