Oddbean new post about login | logout Looking at my female dominated grad cohort 20yrs ago, I expected we were going to be part of a shift to include more women in science as our careers advanced. But retention percentages for women from student to full professor are the same now as they were when I started writing about it in the 2000s. Academia doesn’t support #women in #science.
@b5cdaf1a But, I think now the women contribution is greater than in 2000.
@b5cdaf1a You could have ended that sentence at "women."
"Academia doesn’t support #women fixed that for you @b5cdaf1a
@b5cdaf1a XL F my fav prof must have been a shiny; one of the relative few phds in software
Women don't support each other in the workplace or another woman being a go getter. They tear eachother down, bully, harass and actively try to get other women fired.
@b5cdaf1a I have seen something quite similar. Of the 35% of women who graduated with me, only few still are in a "properly" technical role. Many have moved to quality, project management, training, etc. All roles who require some technical expertise but are more women-coded (caring, teaching, organising). I don't have a solution for it, but it is clearly a societal issue that everyone should be thinking about
@b5cdaf1a yes, beautiful. Make us proud. We got the fort here, imma HEO, mining and construction, heavy hauler trucking, AZ license and I sew regalia's. We need you there. #women #womenunited
