So am I, I don't think we have a disagreement here? I tweet about your show because I enjoy the content and guests. And because it's great to have some airtime for these discussions. More please.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Discussions with a diverse representation of #womeninSTEMM would be great - issues do not affect all women equally, and the Aus science community would benefit from hearing from a range of voices on this issue #intersectionality

This would also help them raise their profiles, and perhaps give them a step up to other media opportunities e.g. on TV. I've been told it's hard to find diverse women with media training, and that's why we don't see them represented in MSM. This would seem to be a win-win

This was something @ScienceAU #SuperstarsofSTEM program took into consideration during assessment of applications. We served on selection panel. Some wonderfully diverse media-savvy #womeninSTEMM coming through! Still more work to do #DiversityinSTEMM

You're not being honest here. I think the #superstarsofSTEM program is doing great things for the participants, but when I look at the photos I see 27/30 white women. 10% is not diverse, nor does it support access to opportunities for women of colour

We deliberately incorporated the following diversity into #superstarsofstem: ethnic, religious, LGBTIQ+, private vs public employment, family type, geographic, urban/regional, discipline, age, career stage. Much thought given to the final balance.
