Hear Curtin University and ICRAR researcher @astro_katross discuss the alarming lack of representation of women in the Australian STEM curriculum. 👇👇👇 Read more at: tinyurl.com/5amu6bj9 #CurtinUniversity #ICRAR

One of the reasons why fewer girls study IT and engineering at year 12 is because they don’t see people like themselves working in those fields. By changing that perception, we can attract more talented people to these in-demand areas of work. smh.com.au/education/wher…

There are around 150 male scientists included in Australian high school science curricula, according to a new report. But there’s just one woman - and she’s only mentioned in Northern Territory, Queensland and South Australian coursework. Read more: trib.al/O0FV5NK

New research shows contributions of women and diverse communities are underrepresented in Australian high school #STEM courses. 📉 Researchers, including AWC Wildlife Ecologist Dr Alexandra Ross, have outlined actions to correct the bias. 👇 via SBS Australia sbs.com.au/news/article/o…

Our study found that out of 145 scientists mentioned in the curricula, there was only 1 female scientist 😱 And our team of researchers are actually from lots of different institutions across Australia, working together to #IncludeHer 💜 #WomenInSTEM

Recognising female scientists is the first step in closing the gender gap in #STEM. Curtin University researcher @astro_katross says the lack of female representation in Aus high school science courses impacts young women engaging in the field. IncludeHer bit.ly/44v0Fhk

So, this research is outside my usual bubble, but is something I’m incredibly passionate about: #ScienceEducation and #WomenInSTEM We did a study and found a clear gender bias in senior high school science curricula across Australia. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

Elevating women in STEM 🧪 @nataliealowson and a team of researchers have looked into the visibility of female role models in science and found that contributions of women were greatly underrepresented. All part of the IncludeHer movement. Curtin University @astro_katross

Astrophysicist Dr Kat Ross explains the importance of studying science, even if students have no intention of pursuing it as a career.

Did you catch @astro_katross on The Project? Not only is the Australian science curriculum lacking in the representation of women, it is also behind in the level of science taught! It’s time to include more science and #IncludeHer in schools 📚 #ScienceEducation #WomenInSTEM

So many incredible scientists ❤️ We’d add the names from our growing encyclopaedia of women scientists 💪 Find it here: includeher.au/resources #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

In honour of International Women's Day, Cosmos is highlighting 50 remarkable and inspirational women in Australian science. smpl.is/8s0ce

Representation Matters That’s why we are working towards improving the visibility of women & their contributions to science in school curricula We want to #IncludeHer 💜 Find out more about our mission at includeher.au #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInSTEM #IWD2024

From high school classrooms, to the highest levels of academic research, to the media we consume – #WomenInSTEM are missing 🫥 But for this 🧵 thread, let's focus on the strong gender bias within the Australian high school science curriculum...
