Ready to go at the Manchester Volunteering & Social Justice Fair @UoMVolunteering ✨. Come find us! #STEM #WomeninSTEM #GirlsinSTEM #volunteering

Fun headline on what is #GirlsinICTDay. Girls don't dislike maths, they dislike being made to feel like they don't belong because of ridiculous social norms and the behaviour of folks in these spaces. It's why I created @Stemettes. (p.s. life is much 'harder' than maths.)

The IOP is very concerned at the continued use of outdated stereotypes as we firmly believe #physics is for everyone regardless of their background or gender.

Girls shun physics A-level as they dislike ‘hard maths’ - some pretty astonishing comments here from government’s social mobility chief theguardian.com/education/2022…

@chrischirp Astonishing comments from the chair of the Social Mobility Commission!!

here is the clip - first it's cos girls don't like the maths, which is then "a natural thing" and then she's totally fine with physics a-level only being 16% girls.

✨Happy International Women's Day 2022!✨ We are SO proud to be working to inspire girls and young women to choose a future in #STEM with our brilliant #WomenInSTEM partners! #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2022

It’s #February11 so we’re celebrating all the brilliant, inspirational, pioneering #WomenInScience! You are heroes in the eyes of girls and young women around the world - thank you! ✨ #WomeninScienceDay #WomenInSTEM #STEM

Get ready for the UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11 February. Have a look at some case studies highlighting women in #STEM based careers and explore ideas on how to challenge gender stereotyping in the classroom. bit.ly/3rzgMsL

Have you seen our latest infographic on the barriers faced by #womenintech in partnership with @ipsosmori and @techcharterUK? See here and tell us your thoughts: wearetechwomen.com/wearetechwomen… Our full report & recommendations will be available in February. #WeAreTechWomen

✨If you're looking for a fantastic cause to support on #GivingTuesday please check us out! We're a start up charity in #Manchester who challenge the stereotypes and bring the real world of #STEM to girls/young women in our schools. All donations make a difference. THANK YOU!✨

It's #GivingTuesday and as a small (but growing!) charity every donation makes a *huge* difference. Help us to keep our brilliant, inspiring volunteers going into schools to show girls/young women how they too could have a bright future in #STEM. Thank you!femstem.org.uk/support-us

Calling #maths teachers & #STEM educators: I'm doing a FREE webinar with @PearsonSchools @EmporiumMaths on #DiversityInData 30/11 4-5.15pm. We will explore the power of ethics within research, #genderinequality in #STEM & ways to remove bias. Book here: ow.ly/U3LV50GOEZL

Brilliant idea! Thank you @iamwill @astro_timpeake @carolvorders and others for backing this as a campaign. The economic arguments for increasing numbers of young people in STEM just keeps getting stronger. #STEM #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInSTEM thetimes.co.uk/article/primar…

Interesting! We hear young women in STEM talk about 'impostor syndrome' far too often... Let's hope STEM employers are reading this! #STEM #WomenInSTEM

Happy birthday to Laura Maria Caterina Bassi Veratti, an Italian physicist and academic born OTD 29 October 1711. She was the first woman to have a doctorate in science, and the second woman in the world to earn a Doctor of Philosophy degree. #WomeninSTEM
