Ruth Mottram

Feeling this one a bit hard right now. I'm clearly now reaching the end of that old #LeakyPipeline and wondering where the hell the other women went along the way...

Vedhæftet: 1 billede 197-fucking-2...! I don't think most people know just how mind-blowingly recently women weren't allowed to do completely normal things on account of being women. BTW, Wikipedia informs us that there weren't any actual rule against women participating before '72, and that this didn't stop race officials, notably director Will Cloney, to claim they were only following the rules. So, you know, that kind of bullshit is not a new thing either. #kvinderneskampdag #latertoot #womensday

5 different project/group meetings in a row where you're the only woman will do that I guess.

So umm, Happy not #IWD23 to everyone I guess 🙎

@Ruth_Mottram sorry to hear that Ruth; I experience it regularly too ☹️ Much work to be done in climate and polar sciences

@OceanTerra yeah.. I mean there are some brilliant women working in the field also. But just not that many...

To be charitable, perhaps all those young promising scientists have left and found better paid/more worthwhile /more fun work instead..?
