From Alpha to Authentic: Evolving Gender Narratives in STEM
Gender diversity in STEM is constantly evolving.
But how far have we come and what do we still need to do to
make it more equal?
To discuss this, I am joined by a panel of special guests,
Amber Penrose, Gregory Antonios and Philipp Baaske.
We explore each other’s experiences with gender diversity in
STEM. Getting perspectives from both women and men on this topic is essential
for the situation to improve.
We discuss improvements in biological sciences
but persistent issues in retaining women in higher positions. We also discuss the need for supportive work environments, mentorship, and leadership
that values diversity.
The conversation underscored the necessity of inclusive
leadership, mentorship, and open dialogue to foster genuine diversity and
equality in STEM.
There are lots of challenges and fears surrounding these
topics, but the more conversations like this that we have, the better things
will become.
“The further you get up the ladder the less women there are.”-
Amber Penrose
