Happy #WomenInScience Day! Let’s smash stereotypes, defy gender bias and defeat discrimination that holds women and girls back in Science, Tech, Engineering, Math and Medicine. 👩‍🔬👩‍🚀 Are you with us?

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🎉 Today we celebrate women in STEM, but also reflect on the progress over past decades to increase women's retention in STEM careers. There's still a LOT of work ahead. Read more:  instagram.com/p/CohzsiLtjSn/… #WomenScienceDay

Hands down my favourite bird.

🐋 Research by #UQ's Rebecca Dunlop shows male whales along Australia’s eastern seaboard are giving up singing to attract a mate, switching instead to fighting off the competition. UQ Science tinyurl.com/2e76wx52

Australian humpback whales are singing less and fighting more. Should we be worried? theconversation.com/australian-hum… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Who made this?

VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED FOR A BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSE STUDY ON HUMPBACK WHALES IN AUSTRALIA. We are seeking EOIs from volunteers for a six-week study on humpback whales from September 3 to October 15 this year (2023). For further details: facebook.com/CetaceanEcolog…

When women's leadership development programs are deployed in the absence of a broader effort to advance women & w/o accountability from leaders, they can send a message that women are deficient, need fixing or are unable to compete w/ men. @davidgsmithphd hbr.org/2023/03/where-…

There are only 14 counties in the world that offer full legal rights to women. The US is not one of them. Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands weforum.org/agenda/2023/03…

Wow, work I did during my PhD many moons ago is still relevant today! However, the work we all did points towards a simple answer- yes - why is this debate still ongoing?
