This week I had the opportunity to take over thte STEMinist Twitter Account. With over 20,000 followers it was amazing to connect with so many people working in STEM subjects - especially all the women in stem careers.
The STEMinist was created in 2010 by Ann Hoang, with a number of aims:
Increase the visibility of women in STEM
Promote and elevate the perspective of women in these traditionally underrepresented fields
Encourage younger women and girls to pursue careers in STEM
Capture a social media snapshot of what’s trending for women in STEM
You can link to the STEMinist website here and there Twitter page.
We had lots of interesting conversations, covering some important topics relevant to career progression and visibility. So much so that I’ve put some of the most useful info and links into the ECR Resources page on my site.
Hope you find it useful :-)
