Post #1- #femalePI #awareness Our lab has given 3 science dissemination talks to ~12yr old students this year. We showed a lab pic, and asked who was the PI. Several members were guessed as possible PI, but only 1 student guessed a female member. How can we improve this #bias?
Eva Maria Novoa@EvaMariaNovoa30 Nov 2023
I have decided to post a bit about some experiences as #femalePI, as I think that some #awareness needs to be made, and some things still need to #change. I will be sharing some good and not-so-good experiences. Hope this is useful to improve some things !!! 🙂 Feedback welcome!

“The assumption for a long time was ‘Oh, they’re just not good at chemistry. That’s why they dropped out,’” when in fact they were wrestling with all sorts of compounded barriers. - I see it everyday insidehighered.com/news/dive…

New report finds disparities for Black STEM Ph.D.s

A new report finds they disproportionately carry large amounts of student loan debt, among other disparities faced by STEM doctoral grads of color.
