Funny story about everyday sexism tonight. My rideshare driver (mid-30’s) mentioned he came to the USA 3 years ago as an architect, but went back to school to study cybersecurity and drives weekends. Obviously I’m interested and start chatting. 1/8
We get to talking about colleges and he opined that expensive universities create an alumni network that maintains their power. I point out that going to security conferences & networking is incredibly valuable for career development and opportunities. 2/8
He is friendly but keeps interrupting & talking over me, patronizingly telling me how networking might be important in general in America, but it isn’t necessary in cybersecurity. Companies are targeting students with jobs & internships. 3/8
Just launched, the @OpticalSociety & @SPIEtweets Professional Conduct @WomenInResIE joint report on Assessing and Addressing The Level of Harassment at Scientific Meetings #STEM #womeninstem #womeninoptics #scicomm #optics #photonics spie.org/about-spie/adv…
Some interesting stats, which are not very surprising "over 9% of respondents say they experienced harassment at meetings or events hosted by the scientific societies. Of those who experienced harassment, 63% were women." #womeninstem #womeninoptics #LGBTinSTEM #optics #photonics
I've just had a quick read but the thing that struck me most, more than the stats was the personal stories in Appendix I - sadly these are stories I've heard from friends & colleagues who have attended scientific meetings & conferences. #womeninSTEM #womeninoptics #LGBTinSTEM
