Curious about whether patterns of research collaboration and team composition on grants vary according to researchers' gender? We were too! Here's what we did and what we found: #GenderEquity #WomenInSTEM

Men and women doctors, professors, and vice presidents earn their degrees and titles the same way. Yet we insist on calling professional women by their first name. "Referring to VP Kamala Harris by her title is the ultimate brat move." @laurahertzfeld wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…

@dvcotton Hi Daniel - Those do not include the lead investigator. Note that these are model-estimated percentages - not raw counts.

Our thanks go to @IndustryGovAu for funding this work and the @arc_gov_au and @nhmrc for providing access to the data included in the project! Please consider sharing this work! @500womensci @FranklinWomen @edi_caucus @ScienceChiefAu @EMCRForum @SciGenderEquity

You can also find a pre-print for this research here: osf.io/preprints/osf/… The project team was led by Dr Isabelle Kingsley, and included Dr Eve Slavich, @DrEmmaLJohnston, Prof Lisa-Harvey-Smith, and me!

You might be wondering: does research area matter? It sure does. For example, the percentage of women within teams was lowest for: - engineering 14% - physical sciences 14% - earth sciences 15% - mathematical sciences 15% - technology 16% and - chemical sciences 18%

@p1sh I bet there’s one society activity that definitely made the difference! 🤣 Congrats, Peter — very much deserved.

It’s official! By the confluence of a lot of luck, late nights, great collaborators, & an endlessly supportive professional and personal community… I received tenure! I'll be processing this surreal feeling for a long time - but some celebrations are in order for now!

@WomenInSTEMAu @S_RatcliffePhD @jesseb3rg From gender equity in research grants and workplaces, to inclusion of people with disability and from sexual and gender minority groups... From complex statistical modelling to systematic, scoping, and umbrella review methods... This work is expansive, and, I hope, of impact.

@WomenInSTEMAu This work would not have happened without the fabulous work of the researchers leading these projects, @S_RatcliffePhD, @jesseb3rg, and Dr. Isabelle Kingsley nor the collaboration of Prof. Lisa Harvey-Smith.

Today we share 4 research outputs from the @WomenInSTEMAu team, reflecting a huge amount of work over the past few years. Check them out on the OSF: osf.io/fhkr6 osf.io/preprints/osf/… osf.io/jt47m osf.io/b4ert
