A3: There's more, but those are just some quick thoughts. Thanks for reading this far. I'll end with a rap that I came across during a Google dive the other day about Rosalind Franklin, who made the discovery of DNA possible: youtu.be/35FwmiPE9tI #IWDatWilson
A3: 5) One thing I keep hearing from the field is that many successful women in STEM have not just women role models, but allies of all genders. They were encouraged by a father/teacher/boss to go into STEM. Someone was their cheerleader. Be the cheerleader. #IWDatWilson
A3: 4) By starting all of this at a young age and in spaces where girls feel they have agency and ownership. See: wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/brea… #IWDatWilson
A3: 3) By making the culture of science a culture of inclusion. Examining the spaces where STEM takes place (not just labs), and seeing what needs to be in place to support women’s participation. #IWDatWilson
A3: 2) Through role models, namely, by recognizing the contributions of women in the field and celebrating them. Not just in the news, but in science classrooms. Rosalind Franklin should be taught alongside Watson and Crick. #IWDatWilson
A3: 1) Through mentorship, namely, through the deliberate cultivation of those who are in the field of those who are just getting started in the field. There’s a lot of literature on this, e.g. stemeducationjournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.11… #IWDatWilson
A3: But we also need to look at what happens when it goes well. 5 key ways to support women in STEM follow. #IWDatWilson
A3: These are, of course, examples of how to understand barriers to women once they are already *in* STEM fields. Getting women into STEM fields is a different beast, but these biases are crucial to understanding all the way down. #IWDatWilson See: wilsoncenter.org/event/opening-…
A3: Those that do survive the leaky pipeline often have their accomplishments undervalued, either through being looked over for job advancement or not credited for their discoveries.🔬nationalgeographic.com/culture/articl… #IWDatWilson
A3: The good: we see a positive spotlight being shined on women like Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, who was recognized by Dr. Fauci as part of the team that is leading COVID-19 research at the NIH. cnn.com/2020/12/09/us/… #IWDatWilson
A3: Let me unpack a bit about this a bit, since with the pandemic we have seen a mixed bag of how women are treated in STEM. #IWDatWilson

A6: Empowering women through education, economic opportunities, and reproductive health care can also make powerful contributions to climate resilience. Read more about women as climate victors. #IWDatWilson bit.ly/3uWPmha
A6: “Gender must be factored into constructing economic policies for a just transition to a green economy.” - @SierraClub & @WEDO_worldwide’s report on gender inclusivity in climate policymaking. #IWDatWilson bit.ly/3mJkxrf
@kennaninstitute A1: We need to really examine evidence from COVID-19 on the (social) media response to women leaders during a global crisis, to address bias and make public service a safe space for the next generation of women leaders. (2/2) #IWD2021 #IWDatWilson
