Today we celebrate the international day of women and girls in science at UWA. Our lab focuses on family ecology in rural Timor-Leste and on improving the well-being of these families. I’m grateful to be part of such an amazing team! #WomenInScience #UWAgenderequity

Below, a good example of structural inequality in academia. This is the case of many international students who have to work to pay for their living expenses. We don’t start the race from the same point. #inequality #internationalstudents

A 🧵 exploring gender differences in education. Nationally, girls do better, are more likely to go to Uni, but are less likely to do STEM subjects. What causes these differences? First 4 studies on parenting, second 6 on schooling. Strap in, some of these findings are wild…

Muy agradecida por vivir aquí en Australia 🇦🇺

I had a guy friend with a Ph.D in engineering ask me last week how women pee with a tampon in and this is why men shouldn’t be passing laws about women’s bodies.
