The government is to a hold a review into parental leave - something @LeedsDads are welcoming. Errol Murray is among those who’ve been pushing for six weeks paid statutory leave for dads when a baby is born - rather than the current two weeks

Parenting isn’t a ‘distraction’ from science–it’s part of the journey. When we normalize fathers taking parental leave, we make it easier for women to stay in STEMM too. Check this space for real examples of workplace stigma faced by #FathersInSTEM. #FathersWhoCare
