On #WomenInScienceDay here are some suggestions to improve retention of #WomenInSTEM. 1/2
1) 50/50 funding ($, not just %).
2) sponsor & mentor them.
3) Eradicate bias.
4) Encourage diversity in conferences, seminars, etc (there are lots of great women to invite, not few).

2/2
5) Create separate awards for women & men in each category (be inclusive & encourage diversity for these awards, minority gps esp).
6) Assess productivity relative to opportunity (incl outputs/$ funded).
7) Eradicate bad behaviour.
8) Stop trying to fix women, fix the system.

Adding here an apology for non-binary/gender diverse re point 5, I realised the poor wording after this was sent. We need to create award categories that are inclusive for everyone yet separate the minority gps from mainstream- many have career trajectories that are not linear.
