Our positive bystander training is underway with Wendy Sadler MBE - a fantastic lesson on tools to be an active bystander whilst keeping yourself safe.
PRISM Exeter's Speakers series returns Mon 24 July @ExeterLibrary, with talks from Dr Freya Garry (Met Office Senior Scientist) & Avery Cunningham 🏳️🌈⚛️🏳️⚧️ (IOM3Pride chair). Come along & meet members of the regional LGBTQ+ STEMM community! #PrideMonth #LGBTinSTEM #QueerSTEM
I'm so excited that my #AScientistJustLikeMe presentation is now up on the Primary Science Teaching Trust website. This is an amazing initiative that shares the work of a range of scientists! If you want to be part of this project please contact Kulvinder Kaur Johal FCCT CSciTeach #EDI #SciComm pstt.org.uk/unique-resourc…
Am I more excited by the fastest plane ever built or The Rock and Spider-Man?? Institute of Physics DiSTEM Network Cardiff Uni Physics #CelebratingPhysics
I'll be doing a mini-twitter takeover this week as I am attending the 8th International conference of Women in Physics ICWIP8_IUPAP hosted by India - sharing learning and global stats as they happen! Hopefully relevant to non-physicists & diversity followers too IOPDiversity #ICWIP8
Here are the global stats of % women in Physics at different levels across the world. Not sure if this is the top 9 or just a selection, but looks like France has the least leaky pipeline! IOPDiversity ICWIP8_IUPAP HEFCW | CCAUC Learned Society of Wales
Fascinating workshop on Social Science skills for physicists. US study by Eleanor Sayre about what factors of HEIs affect women of colour in STEM...tl:dr answer - no one factor seems to stand out as significant zaposa.com ICWIP8_IUPAP IOPDiversity Race Equality Charter
First learning of the day.: The world’s first university (university of Al Quaraouiyine, Morocco) was founded in 895 by Fatima al-Fihri ICWIP8_IUPAP IOPDiversity #ICWIP8 stylist.co.uk/visible-women/…
Fantastic, heartfelt evidence-based presentation from Prof Nate Brown of PennStateUniversity about how faculty members unintentionally reinforce institutional racism and sexism. Even intellectual beliefs of teachers (growth vs fixed mindsets) can affect equity gap in students. ICWIP8_IUPAP
Fantastic big US dataset that you can interrogate about Women and Women of Colour in physics (and Maths and ComputerScience) here women-of-color-in-stem.shinyapps.io/portal/ so much in there!! Excited to hear there is a UK version coming...IOPDiversity Advance HE Race Equality Charter ICWIP8_IUPAP

I'd never heard of a stochastic parrots - thought provoking talk ICWIP8_IUPAP about how AI is increasing bias. A 'stochastic parrot' can use language with no understanding of what it is being said - more women need to be involved in the development of these tools to challenge this.
Great initiative from The Royal Society to help increase the almost non-existent number of black Professors in the UK. It's a start... DiSTEM Network IOPDiversity bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
Ooh this is one I haven’t seen. Very nice!! IOPDiversity
Excited to announce we're running an in-person "Wikipedia STEM edit-a-thon" on 1st May eventbrite.co.uk/e/wikipedia-ed… Eventbrite
Did you know only 16% of the scientists on Wikipedia are female (despite the amazing work of Dr Jess Wade liked it here once) Would you like to come and do something about it?? Free wikithon Cardiff University Wed 1st May. Tickets/info here ticketsource.co.uk/diversity-in-s…
