Today the @ScienceChiefAu @ATSE_au @ScienceAU release the #RRIFreport on the impact of #Covid19 on #womeninSTEMM. The RRIF was asked by @karenandrewsmp:
What impact is the COVID-19 pandemic having on women in the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) workforce?
What impact is the COVID-19 pandemic having on women in the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) workforce?
Implications outlined include:
"Given the compounding effect of career breaks and gender-based discrimination on career progression, it is reasonable to assume the pandemic is likely to have more long-term negative implications for #womeninSTEMM than men."

"Mounting evidence demonstrates the benefits of diverse research workforces and the risks of homogeneous research workforces – including examples of technology & treatments designed for male users or patients that do not work as well for women"

"Current and future women in STEM are particularly at risk if important advances of recent years wind back. This potential danger will grow if STEM employers do not closely monitor and mitigate the gender impact of their decisions."

"Much work has been done in recent years to redress the gender imbalance in STEM, but @SciGenderEquity reports there is a danger this work may slow down or, according to some institutions, begin to reverse"
