Trust British women to take the initiative. The Women's Engineering Society (WES) created International Women in Engineering Day almost 20 years ago.

All the best to women engineers everywhere. Here's to the day there will be no need for this day. 🍻🥂

'Every year on 23 June, International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) celebrates the outstanding achievements of women engineers around the world and shines a spotlight on the opportunities engineering creates for future generations.'

Moving Forward on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEM - the Node

As an 8th year graduate student of a diverse background, my experience in academia has consisted of hurdles, setbacks, and emotional and mental

I'm thinking this would be a useful resource for hiring searches and also any DEI efforts. YES! DEI is still a thing and I support it. #STEMDiversity #science #DEI

There is still time to join @DisabledInSTEM's Mentorship Program!

I know I'm including a lot of higher education hashtags, but you don't need to be in academia to participate. The @DisabledInSTEM mentorship program has run for multiple years now and is a great success.

Please share the word!

DisabledInSTEM Mentee Application 2024

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentee for Disabled in STEM! This is the third year of the program and we have decided to mix it up a bit! We are going to be offering mentoring pods, which will allow for interactions between multiple mentees and mentors. The goal of these mentoring pods are to provide disabled individuals in STEM with a mentor(s) who could help guide them through the process, such as by working on soft skills related to excelling in STEM, such as interviewing, personal statements, networking, etc. Please only apply to this program if you have a disability and are in a STEM-field (including psychology!). Mentors are volunteers who are committed to helping those DisabledInSTEM succeed. Some have a disability themselves and some are allies. We cannot guarantee that your mentor(s) will be in the same field as you are, but there's still a lot that can be learned and connected through this experience! As part of the program, mentoring pods will be asked to meet monthly along with setting goals/tasks to be completed. Tasks may be reading assignment related to a career, attending a conference, talking to someone else in the field, or anything else as it will be dependent on what works best for the members of your pod! If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an email at: [email protected] Additional information about the program for mentees can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bA6kavCRxMZepczCWy7cpOSRLU2C6CXIkVB1HJSgl4g/edit?usp=sharing

To fix LGBTQ+ disparities in science, we need the data

How many LGBTQ+ researchers are there in the United States? The National Science Foundation should find out.

Welcome to a new week and a new paper!

Recommendations on simple but transformative diversity, equity, & inclusion measures in Heliophysics over the next decade https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspas.2022.1062970#.Y44Gx7Y99dg.twitter #DEIA #Heliophysics #SpacePhysics #SpaceWeather #Inclusion #STEMDiversity #Equity #DEIAinSTEM

Recommendations on simple but transformative diversity, equity, and inclusion measures in Heliophysics over the next decade

It is well established that, in order to perform at their peak ability, a person must feel accepted, safe, and valued at work. Therefore, it is imperative to bring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts to the forefront of Heliophysics over the next decade and well beyond. This position paper outlines three specific recommendations to make the Heliophysics community more diverse, equitable, and inclusive by improving the accessibility and accountability. These recommendations are: performing consistent collection and analysis of demographic data across different agencies, reimagining undergraduate Heliophysics internships using the SOARS® model, and providing conference funding for DEI speakers whose expertise lies outside the field of Heliophysics. These targeted recommendations have a well-documented positive impact, are simple to implement, and follow other scientific communities’ recent recommendations for making the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
