Why are women under-represented in science?

Women are in the minority in scientific disciplines, but it shouldn’t be that way. What are the barriers that prevent women from gaining equal representation? What solutions should be implemented? How do the challenges vary around the world?

STEMM Global gathered a diverse international panel of Women in Science at the SNAIA 2020 conference to discuss and debate the issues they’ve seen in their careers so far. Joining Anna and Kate from STEMM Global are:
Monica Craciun (University of Exeter)
Yue Wang (University College London)
Silvia Giordani (Dublin City University)
Olga Smolyanskaya (ITMO University)
Madhu Bhaskaran (RMIT University)
Sophie Mancha (University of Wisconsin)

How can you succeed as a Mother in STEMM?

Being a Woman in STEMM is a challenge. Being a Mother in STEMM brings even more difficulties. But challenges are meant to be overcome — motherhood should not be a barrier to success in STEMM.

Dr. Yue (Christina) Wang is a RAEng Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of York, and a mother to two children. She discusses how she has successfully balanced becoming a mother with her ongoing career in academia, including her experiences of maternity, the systems of support she has found, and what still needs to change to help mothers unleash their full scientific potential.
