Chief Scientist: "STEM doesn't formally include life sciences. And I can tell you there's a chance through the university, through the medical faculty graduations, I'm mostly shaking female hands" #StridentWomen know better than to use anecdote to negate evidence but please go onpic.twitter.com/Q537sWpWie

Chief Scientist: "So in the life sciences, medicine, a HUGE percentage of the graduates coming through are female. In engineering it's more extreme the other way around. But we've got imbalances within professions we have to decide is that NECESSARILY A BAD THING?" #StridentWomenpic.twitter.com/15qugpoJ8D

Sometimes my #StridentWomen mind can't decide if inequality is *necessarily* a bad thing, but here's the numbers. In medical sciences & health, 72% of undergrads are women. But only 33% of senior professors are women. Don't want to be strident, but that's the opposite of "huge"pic.twitter.com/28E4nARFZ8

But the Chief Scientist is shaking so many lady hands, that must mean progress has been made? #StridentWomen always bringing the mood down, going public after being told to stay silent on sexual harassment & "treat everybody as a potential attacker"https://www.theage.com.au/national/senior-surgeon-gabrielle-mcmullin-stands-by-advice-for-female-doctors-to-stay-silent-on-sex-abuse-20150307-13xzog.html …

The Chief Scientist urges us to "look at the numbers" and stop being #StridentWomen. Here's more numbers: half of 3,500 surgeons surveyed have experienced harassment & bullying. 1 in 3 women have been sexually harassed. Keep telling those progress stories!https://www.smh.com.au/national/bullying-endemic-among-surgeons-but-victims-too-scared-to-speak-up-report-finds-20150909-gjiuxl.html …

Wait a minute - all that rife harassment & discrimination was in 2015. So much progress since then! Right? By 2018, 20% of surgeons have failed to complete compulsory anti-sexual harassment training implemented to address 2015 findings. #StridentWomenhttp://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-09/one-fifth-of-surgeons-yet-to-complete-online-harassment-training/9314650 …

Okay that's medicine. The Chief Scientist mentioned life sciences too. Yep, they have gender parity in junior roles but as I showed earlier, less than one third of senior leaders are women. Other #StridentWomen research shows same inequity in industry https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2017/09/20/why-too-few-women-life-sciences-bad-for-business/crkrbriWLw2IKJMoIzCjgI/story.html …

So that's the story of numbers. Senior White men may want women to focus on progress, but that's not our narrative. #StridentWomen can & do share triumphs, but we should be free to talk about discrimination without the most influential scientist in the country being disparaging.pic.twitter.com/lKXnYtyXzp

These trend lines are definite indications of progress, combined with your representation vs seniority charts: https://twitter.com/GaetanBurgio/status/929267583831781377 … #SMH

So I've looked at the #ARC discovery projects results for the last 3 years. % project funded per academic level & gender for lead CI. Interesting trend -> Level E men drops & women B/C level increase, will see if trend is real in the following years #funding pic.twitter.com/4UxUXoMFvR

If only #StridentWomen would tell better stories about progress, maybe our research would get better funded... I'm glad the Chief Scientist told women to "look at the numbers." It's fun to be reminded we'll stay far behind, even if we are the few who become senior scis.
