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? 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."
