I work for an organisation that takes #genderequity seriously. Not perfect, but I can see the changes around me. #womeninSTEM @RMIT @SciGenderEquity sciencegenderequity.org.au/n…

We've won a @SciGenderEquity cygnet award for inclusive recruitment! What a ride it's been project managing this work, knee deep in analysis to showcase all the initiatives that led to cultural and systemic change. Thanks to all especially Prof Kay Latham rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/20…
RMIT first Victorian university to win Cygnet Award

How do you know what you're doing works if you don't measure it? A broad analysis of gender equity initiatives in Australia published this morning has identified how little critical evaluation of program success is performed within the STEM equity sector.

If you want to know what frame of mind Melbourne is in in these first few days post lockdown - a group of strangers just stripped down to make sure the last duckling of a flock could get out of the Royal Exhibition Building fountain while people looked on and cheered.

If you watch this closely, you'll spot a split second shot of @TACAGEM & I pointing at a map - the forest science equivalent of wearing a labcoat and using a pipette. Congratulations to the cast of thousands involved in this massive forest recovery effort.

Our Mountain and Alpine Ash forests were devasted after the 2019/20 bushfires. This is why we re-seeded 11,500 hectares over forest with 4.5 tonnes of seeds. To ensure our forests future, we’re now collecting 7.5T of seed to be ‘banked’ for future forest restoration efforts.

The recent impacts from the bushfires and COVID-19 have demonstrated the value of an educated STEM workforce in developing solutions for response, recovery and resilience. “However, the expertise needed to solve these problems does not develop overnight” - @ChiefScientistAU

🧐🤔 a lot to digest in this latest #STEM report... Gender imbalance continues to be stark on a number of metrics (not least of which are participation and salary) ♂️≠♀️ Proud that our @In2science mentors continues to strive to address this and many other gaps in #STEMEd
