Let's make and retain #WomenInScience and #WomenInSTEM! Need some hints about where to start? HERE 👏 WE ✊ GO 👩🏽‍🔬
(with 📚 references!)

Ensure women are equitably represented in #scicomm multimedia, especially in video, so that young women can see themselves in #STEM

(@scifri does this as a matter of good journalism)
Also, ignore the haters:

Provide (or lead!) opportunities for young female-identifying lovers of STEM to hang out together, share their STEM interests, and represent that interest to other members of their community

(👆 killer strategies paper btw)

Step up as a #WomeninSTEM mentor, or go out of your way to connect girls to mentors in STEM, particularly as undergrads and particularly in research.

Don't do that thing where you participate in, model, or passively condone attributing female successes to "chance" and male success to "innate ability" (or for that matter any other attribution-bias nonsense)

Entice girls into careers in STEM with hands-on activities, #STEM curriculum with clear connections to their community, featuring a diverse posse of role models!

Share strategies with other people (reply with your favorites!), and support suggested strategies with references (because some commonly-cited ones might not always work the way you think they do - e.g. feminine role models)
