H'fully a diverse range of scientists will show up...because science. Each with own reasons @DiagnosticChick @OtherSociology @kejames @Crof

Are you talking to LGTBIQA+ STEM leaders and are they part of your leadership team? Will minorities be represented?
Again, can recommend some #LGBTQIA experts. Especially need transgender inclusion at national level. @MicrobialMe @ScienceMarchAu #marginsci

I don't know whether our LGBTQIA members are considered "experts". We'd be grateful for your recommendations.
-
If these members comfortable would be good to know names. Happy to recommend; will have to ask 1st.
@ScienceMarchAu@MicrobialMe#marginsci -
I don't publicly name our volunteers & I don't disclose their sexuality. I'll ask if they'd like to contact you
-
For valid reasons scientists may not want to be identified - fine! But then they can't be your diversity reps.
@ScienceMarchAu@MicrobialMe -
it wasn't clear to me that question was re our diversity team, it appeared to be about our "leadership team".
-
I've made this point in lots places: diversity needs to be part of leadership.
@ScienceMarchAu@MicrobialMe#marginsci -
Diversity was not part of leadership at my local one. I voiced this concern of it being siloed at the very beginning.
-
Disconcerting
@jpalbusa! If diversity is not central to leadership, & not well resourced & supported, inclusion remains barrier.#marginsci

thanks Carly. We are a band of volunteers with jobs/study & families, working hard on something we believe in.

The best possible outcome will be to show the rest of the world that things get done differently down under
