There are 5 learned academies in Australia. NONE have endorsed the @ScienceMarchAu Reason is likely not about being conservative. #marginsci

Although I am no longer directly organising with
@ScienceMarchAu , I can assure you that they strongly pushed for diversity.
1/ Thanks @jamesjansson, but that's not evidenced in trajectory of @ScienceMarchAu. We had to push hard to get to this point. #marginsci

2/ Most satellites *eventually* started addressing diversity but b/c we kept up public accountability https://storify.com/othersociology/equity-diversity-in-march-for-science-australia …

As noted, it's a prob that
@ScienceMarchAu has not declared conflict of interest in having members of@SciencePartyAus involved.#marginsci

That's not true. Inclusiveness has been mentioned in nearly every discussion around speakers from the start at
@ScienceMarchAu -
Mentioning diversity is not actually bringing diversity into leadership
@jamesjansson, to better shape planning of the march.#marginsci -
1/ Moreover, whatever convos took place did not lead to inclusive outcomes until colleagues & I publicly pursued diversity.
#marginsci -
2/ I've also spent considerable time giving my expertise to help
@ScienceMarchAu satellites address diversity in public & private#marginsci -
And unfortunately Zuleyka's expertise wasn't listened to until we pushed very hard in public domain. Diversity not considered as priority!
-
If Zuleyka did not volunteer to be an organiser, the only way to have this convo is in public sphere. This is not a problem. MFS listened.
-
Have you asked why we didn't volunteer? Because it was opaque, hostile and dishonest. We were more effective working from the outside

That's rather circular. I think that is a bad strategy if you think your influence is valuable.
