Right party poopers. That's what we're calling young & single women now. We need to get them married, mortgaged up, with kids on the way. How else will women vote for parties on the right? What other ideas could there possibly be? womensagenda.com.au/politics…

To all aspiring young #WomenInSTEM: Mentee: Should I avoid being pregnant while trying to secure a faculty position? Me: Be pregnant & go on interviews. If they don’t welcome you with open arms and offer childcare options, they don’t deserve you. #KnowYourWorth

I am tired of losing beloved work colleagues to insufficient funding. I am heartsick today and just so weary of this industry. I discovered that another of our amazing #womeninSTEM will lose her job at the end of the year.

Women receive only 39% of life science postdoc fellowships & 18% of full professorships. The more elite a male scientist is, the fewer women he trains. When it comes to solving difficult problems, like pandemics, such imbalances hurt us all. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
