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...

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

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_stem movement.

Recognising female scientists is the first step in closing the gender gap in #STEM. @CurtinUni researcher @astro_katross says the lack of female representation in Aus high school science courses impacts young women engaging in the field.

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.

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.

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. 👇

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/where-a…

The contributions of female scientists is being excluded from the education of our youngest scientists, leading to lower engagement and long-term reduction in STEM diversity which reduces innovation and problem-solving. 💥 Our new paper out TODAY 💥 sbs.com.au/news/article/only…

Some of Australia’s best-loved books have been criticised for being outdated. It’s prompted calls for teachers to expand their reading material in the classroom. 7NEWS spoke with lead author at @EdithCowanUni, @helenadamWA for more. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

Happy international women’s day to my colleagues working in the D&I space, who empower women in STEMM to thrive. Thank you to @WISparkville, @WomenInSTEMAu @WomenSciAUST @FranklinWomen @SageAustralia et al for your critical work. #IWD2022

On this #IWD2022 plenty of us academic women will give up their time to convince you we’re worth funding equally. Know what else we could be doing? Writing our damn grant applications. #WomenInSTEM #deathbyathousandcuts
